Amelia Earhart in front of her plane

Undated picture taken in the 30s of American female aviator Amelia Earhart in front of her plane. Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic as a passenger, in 1928, and followed this by a solo flight in 1932. In 1935 she flew solo from Hawa to Califofrnia. In 1937, with Fred Noonan, they set out to fly round the world, but their plane was lost over the Pacific, 02 July. / AFP PHOTO / STAFF

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Amelia Earhart standing proudly in front of her plane, a symbol of her groundbreaking achievements in aviation. Undated but believed to be taken in the 1930s, this image showcases Earhart's determination and trailblazing spirit that made her an inspiration for women around the world. Amelia Earhart left an indelible mark on history as she shattered gender barriers and soared through the skies. In 1928, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic as a passenger, paving the way for future female aviators. Four years later, she embarked on a solo flight across this vast oceanic expanse - a feat unheard of at that time. In 1935, Earhart accomplished yet another remarkable milestone by flying solo from Hawaii to California, further solidifying her status as one of aviation's most daring figures. However, it was during her ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate the globe with navigator Fred Noonan in 1937 that tragedy struck. Their plane vanished over the Pacific Ocean on July 2nd. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder not only of Amelia Earhart's extraordinary courage but also of the mysteries surrounding her disappearance. As we gaze upon this image today, we honor her legacy and pay tribute to all those who dare to dream big and defy societal expectations – just like Amelia did throughout her awe-inspiring journey through life and sky.
