Amelia Earhart

Throughout the early decades of the 20th century, a young woman by the name of Amelia Earhart set out to do the impossible. The Wright Brothers had opened up the world to aviation, and Amelia was the one to push herself to the limits, breaking records to establish what we know as air travel today. Amelia spent the better part of her adult life traveling around the globe, documenting the effects of air travel on the human body, plus chartering the capabilities of early aircrafts by cataloging record-breaking altitudes and distances around the globe.On On 2 July 1937, Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, finalized their flight path for the journey of a lifetime. Amelia knew this would be her last trip around the world before decidedly planning to hang her aviator jacket up for good when she was done. But fate had other plans. On 3 July 1937, at 08:43 AM, Amelia made her last radio transmission on her flight progress, and was never heard from again. To this day, scientists do not have a clear understanding of what went wrong or what happened to Amelia and her navigator. Some mysteries are never meant to be solved, But in this case, we have Amelia to thank for traveling the distance in air travel.
