After her first airplane ride in 1920, Amelia Earhart was hooked. Even though there were few women pilots at that time, she devoted herself to flying. Amelia would goon to set major aviation records-she was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1937, Amelia set ou on a flight around the world she believed would be the grand achievement of her aviation career. Tragically, she disappeared in the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, never to be seen again. Although her own story ended too quickly, she inspired women everywhere to reach goals previously undreamed of.
