Adventure, Glamour, and Mystery

Determined and fiercely independent, she was the world's first heroine of the aviation age. 

Amelia Earhart longed for new adventures and experiences that were often reserved only for men. She flew solo when she was only twenty-one and owned an airplane by the time she was twenty-four.

Eventually Amelia flew faster, higher, and farther than all but a few of the world's early aviators and gained a fame and celebrity that has rarely been equaled since.

Join Amelia on her long distance flights as she battles storms across jungles, oceans, and deserts. Follow her until her last flight around the world, which remains one of the twentieth century's greatest unsolved mysteries.
