Amelia Mary Earhart was best known for being a respected
aviator after coming back victorious in the transatlantic fight with a number
of outstanding aviation records; she was also triumphant in crossing North
America in solo flight receiving gold medals from National Geographic Society. She
was the first woman to be president of 99s, an organization supporting women
aviators. She was kind-hearted to volunteer as Red Cross nurse’s aide after World
War 1. After being hailed as the first woman aviator to fly across Atlantic
Ocean she mysteriously vanished in 1937 while crossing over Pacific Ocean. The
search and rescue for her cost the US government to spend $4 million.
