Amelia Earhart
Monday, July 16, 2012
July, 2012 marks the 75th year of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, at the time, the world's foremost woman in aviation in 1937. Ms. Earhart, who was already the holder of most of the records for women in aviation, was attempting to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe in an airplane. During this flight, radio contact with Ms. Earhart was lost, and it was presumed that she crashed at sea, in the vicinity of Howland Island, halfway between Hawaii and Australia, in the central Pacific.
