Amelia Earhart firsts and final flight mystery
Amelia Earhart, a famed American aviator, became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932 taking 14 hours 56 minutes. She later completed a Honolulu to U.S. mainland solo flight and in 1937, with her co pilot, attempted a world circumnavigation at the equator but disappeared after losing radio contact over the Pacific Ocean.
