Amelia Earhart
"I  believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by." So thought Amelia Earhart when an air-show pilot dove at her head and filled it with dreams of flying. Packed with similar episodes, the site chronicles the pioneering pilot's amazing life. The biography section recounts everything from her first Atlantic crossing in 1928 to her disappearance while attempting her around-the-world flight in 1937. Fascinating quotes reveal Earhart as a woman ahead of her time, and not just when it came to airplanes -- she described her marriage to book publisher George Putnam as a "partnership" with "dual control." Earhart's many achievements may inspire future generations to attempt new heights. (in Recreation & Sports > Aviation) |
