Amelia Earhart was passionate about flying. She set many speed and distance records in her day. She was the first person to fly solo from Honolulu, HI to Oakland, CA, a distance of 2,408 miles! She attempted to fly around the world in 1937, but tragically was lost in her attempt. Despite many theories we have no proof of what happened to Earhart. The US government spent 4 million dollars searching for her, the most costly air and sea search to that time.
