AMELIA EARHART

A) Amelia Mary Earhart

B) Atchinson,Kansas July 24, 1897 disappeared July 2, 1937 Pacific Ocean
C) As a child, she spent the winter months with her grandparents in Atchison
and the summers with her parents in Kansas City, Kansas. Earhart's
grandparents, Alfred and Amelia Otis were well off, and although Amelia
would know some financial hardship in her teens and twenties, her early life
was spent in the midst of plenty. Alfred Otis was a retired U.S. District Court
Judge, president of the Atchison Savings Bank, and chief warden of Trinity
Episcopal

Church

For a while Earhart was engaged to Samuel Chapman, a chemical

engineer from Boston, breaking off her engagement on November 23,
1928.[72] During the same period, Earhart and Putnam had spent a great
deal of time together, leading to intimacy. George P. Putnam, who was
known as GP, was divorced in 1929 and sought out Earhart, proposing to
her six times before she finally agreed
D) Amelia graduates from Hyde Park High School in Chicago. She excels in
science, only enrolling at Hyde Park after determining that it had the best
science program in the area. However, she has trouble making friends
her yearbook caption reads, A.E. the girl in brown who walks alone.
E) Amelia Earhart Centre And Wildlife Sanctuary was established at the site of
her 1932 landing in Northern Ireland, Ballyarnet Country Park, Derry.
The "Earhart Tree" on Banyan Drive in Hilo, Hawaii, was planted by Earhart
in
1935.
The Zonta
International Amelia
Earhart
Fellowship
Awards were
established
in
1938.
The Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarships (established in 1939 by The
Ninety-Nines), provides scholarships to women for advanced pilot
certificates and ratings, jet type ratings, college degrees and technical
training.
The Purdue University Amelia Earhart Scholarship, first awarded in 1940, is
based on academic merit and leadership and is open to juniors and seniors
enrolled in any school at the West Lafayette campus. After being
discontinued in the 1970s, a donor resurrected the award in 1999.

The Amelia Earhart Birthplace,[199] Atchison, Kansas (a museum and historic

site, owned and maintained by The Ninety-Nines since 1984).
3895 Earhart, a minor planet discovered in 1987, was named in 1995 after
her,
by
its
discoverer, Carolyn
S.
Shoemaker.
F) Amelia Earhart was the first woman to pilot a plane. She was selfless and
peaceful, and generous to all the people, but she was firm too. She wanted
to fly and she wouldn't let anyone tell her she couldn't do it. She was
selfless, but she always had a free spirit. She was peaceful like Martin
Luther King, Jr. because she never fought (not that we know of at least).
She didn't get mad at the people when they laughed at her for trying to fly a
plane, and she was generous to all people and to herself. And that leads
back to Amelia setting her mind on one thing and not taking her mind off it
until
she
finished
her
mission.
Amelia Earhart had compassion. She helped people with their needs. She
was courageous too, otherwise she wouldn't have finished her quest to fly
the
plane
herself.
Amelia Earhart is a hero someone can look up to because as you already
know, she was the first woman pilot of an airplane in all of history. She was
the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean solo! This was not even
allowed in Amelia's time, including the right to owning stores, becoming
leaders or anything like that.

In 1967, Ann Dearing Holtgren Pellegreno and a crew of three successfully
flew a similar aircraft (a Lockheed 10A Electra) to complete a world flight
that closely mirrored Earhart's flight plan. On the 30th anniversary of her
disappearance, Pellegreno dropped a wreath in Earhart's honor over tiny
Howland Island and returned to Oakland, completing the 28,000-mile
(45,000 km)
commemorative
flight
on
July
7,
1967.
In 1997, on the 60th anniversary of Earhart's world flight, San Antonio
businesswoman Linda Finch retraced the final flight path flying the same
make and model of aircraft as Earhart, a restored 1935 Lockheed Electra
10E. Finch touched down in 18 countries before finishing the trip two and a
half months later when she arrived back at Oakland Airport on May 28,
1997.
In 2001, another commemorative flight retraced the route undertaken by
Earhart in her August 1928 transcontinental record flight. Dr. Carlene
Mendieta flew an original Avro Avian, the same type that was used in 1928.
In 2013, Amelia Rose Earhart, a pilot and reporter from Denver Colorado,
announced that she would be recreating the 1937 flight during the Summer
of 2014 in a single engine Pilatus PC-12NG. She completed the flight
without incident on July 11, 2014.
