Another person captured the people's imagination in the Thirties. Amelia Earhart(1897-1937?), the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, in 1932, flew even farther in 1935. She'd almost flown clear around the world when her plane was lost at sea in 1937 and never found.
There was a new movie out just this year about her.
ReplyDeleteSome say that her flight around the world was in part a secret mission that she was asked to do by the president of the US. We were not yet at war with the Japanese but they were building secret strongholds on and around the Mariannas Islands. This is where her plane went down but was never found.
This is another great biography.
