Amelia Earhart, born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas, was a groundbreaking aviator and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Despite having no children and marrying George Putnam, she left a significant legacy in aviation. Amelia’s adventurous spirit was evident as she chronicled her historic flight in her book "20 Hours and 40 Minutes". Tragically, she disappeared on July 3, 1937, during an ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate the globe. A symbol of daring, Earhart’s achievements remain celebrated by both the American and French governments.
