he year was 1932.Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small one-engine airplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter failed. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. Just before daylight, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.
Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.
In the year that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. In 1935 she became the first person ever to fly from Hawaii to continental United States. In the same year she also became the first person to fly without stopping from Mexico City to Newark, New Jersey, just a few miles from New York City. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation and that air travel was useful.
In 1937 Amelia Earhart died in her flight around the world.
