The Life of Amelia Earhart

A Amelia Mary Earhart was born on 24th July 1897, in Kansas, USA. She lived with her parents, Edwin and Amy, and her younger sister Muriel. Amelia saw her first plane at the age of ten. At that time, she wasn't interested in it at all, but later in life she became world-famous for flying planes.

B Amelia graduated from high school in 1915, and soon after graduating started a finishing school for girls. However, Amelia left in the middle of her final year to work as a nurse at a military hospital. Here she helped many injured pilots, and became interested in planes when she saw them flying. After the war, she had a number of jobs. These helped her pay for flying lessons. She had her first lesson in January, 1921 and in six months saved enough money to buy her first plane.

C Amelia broke many flying records in her life. In 1922, she set a world record for women's flying with a new height of over 425 metres. In 1928, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1930, she set a world record for women's flying with a new speed of 291 km per hour. In 1932, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and in 1935, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean.

D Amelia wanted to be the first woman to fly all the way around the world, but this was to be her last flight. She started her round-the-world flight in March 1937, but she never finished it. Near the end of the flight, she needed to land on a very small island in the Pacific Ocean, but she couldn't find it. Amelia's plane was never found, and even today, nobody knows what happened to her.
