Amelia Earhart (1897–1937) was an American aviator, author, and a champion of the advancement of women in aviation. She was the first woman to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean and the first woman to fly nonstop, coast-to-coast across the US. She attempted a flight around the world in 1937 but disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean.
