2. AMERICA’S FIRST LADY ON AIR!!
A SYMOBOL OF COURAGE AND
PERSEVERENCE
A note by Amelia Earhart to
her husband George Putnam…
Please know I am quite aware of the
hazards...I want to do it because I
want to do it. Women must try to do
things as men have tried. When they
fail their failure must be but a
challenge to others."

4. AMELIA EARHART AS A CHILD
Father: Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart
(March 28, 1867)
Mother: Amelia "Amy" Otis Earhart (1869–
1962)
Earhart's childhood was very unconventional as
she and her sister were unlike other girls in the
neighborhood, they wore bloomers and got full
freedom to do whatever they wanted to with no
restrictions although their grandmother
disapproved with it.

5. ONE OF THE BEST WOMEN
PILOTS IN THE UNITED STATES
• In Autumn 1925, Amelia took a position at Denison
House in Boston as a "novice" social worker and was
later employed as a staff member. She joined the
Boston Chapter of the National Aeronautic Association,
and invested what little money she had in a company
that would build an airport and market Kinner airplanes
in Boston. During this time she took full advantage of
the circumstances to promote

6. • flying...especially for women. She regularly became the
subject of columns in newspapers. The Boston Globe
called her "one of the best women pilots in the United
States".
• On April 27, 1926 her life was to change forever...a phone
call from Captain H.H. Railey asked.."how would you like
to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic?"

8. The celerbrity
H.H. Railey had been asked by George Palmer Putnam, a
New York publisher, to find the woman to make a trans-atlantic
flight. No woman had so far flown across the
Atlantic. Railey, having been struck by Amelia's strong
resemblance to Charles Lindbergh, coined the name
"Lady Lindy".
A week later, Amelia met with George Putnam in New
York. George was said to have been so impressed by her
at the meeting that he decided Amelia should be the
woman to make the flight. Amelia accepted the offer
although she would only be a passenger on the flight.

9. Since she had no experience of multi-engine or
instrument flying. Wilmer Stultz and Louis
Gordon would pilot the tri-motor Fokker named
the "Friendship" with Amelia having the official
title of "commander" of the flight.
On Sunday, June 3, 1928 after waiting several
days for the weather to clear, the Friendship left
for Halifax, Nova Scotia. Bad weather conditions
again delayed the flight out of Halifax till June
18. Flying through dense fog for most of their
journey, they landed at Burry Port in South
Wales and not in Ireland as had been
planned...with little fuel remaining.

10. • Amelia continued to work for the airline and was
writing regular articles for Cosmopolitan and other
publications, with speaking engagements in many
cities across the country. In 1930 she broke several
women's speed records in her Lockheed Vega
aircraft. After turning down George's purposal of
marriage several time, they finally married on
February 7, 1931.

11. THE LAST FLIGHT

12. • After flying across the Atlantic as a passenger in 1928,
Amelia Earhart's next goal was to achieve a transatlantic
crossing alone. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the
first person to make a solo nonstop flight across the
Atlantic. In 1932, exactly five years after Lindbergh's
flight, Earhart became the first woman to repeat the feat.
Her popularity grew even more. She was the undisputed
queen of the air! Still, she wanted to achieve more.
• She decided that her next trip would be to fly around the
world. In March 1937, she flew to Hawaii with fellow pilot
Paul Mantz to begin this flight. Earhart lost control of the
plane on takeoff, however, and the plane had to be sent
to the factory for repairs.

13. In June, she went to Miami to again begin a
flight around the world, this time with Fred
Noonan as her navigator. No one knows
why, but she left behind important
communication and navigation instruments.
Perhaps it was to make room for additional
fuel for the long flight. The pair made it to
New Guinea in 21 days, even though
Earhart was tired and ill. During the next leg
of the trip, they departed New Guinea for
Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of
the Pacific Ocean. July 2, 1937, was the last
time Earhart and Noonan communicated
with a nearby Coast Guard ship. They were
never heard from again.

14. The U.S. Navy conducted a massive search
for Earhart and Noonan that continued for
more than two weeks. Unable to accept that
Earhart had simply disappeared and
perished, some of her admirers believed that
she was a spy or was captured by enemies of
the United States. The Navy submitted a
report following its search, which included
maps of search areas. Neither the plane nor
Earhart nor Noonan were ever found. No one
knows for sure what happened, but many
people believe they got lost and simply ran
out of fuel and died. Amelia Earhart was less
than a month away from her 40th birthday.
