Presentation on Amelia

Earhart

EARLY LIFE

Born on July 24,1897 in Kansas, Amelia Mary Earhart,

daughter of German American Samuel "Edwin" Stanton

Earhart and Amelia Earhart.

Her love of the outdoors and "rough-and-tumble" play

made many biographers characterize the young Earhart

as a tomboy.

 At the age of 10, Earhart saw her first aircraft at the in

Des Moines. Her father tried to interest her and her sister

in taking a flight.

 Amelia Earhart was enrolled in public school for the first

time with her sisters entering the seventh grade at the age

of 12 years.

EARLY FLYING EXPERIENCESOn December 28, 1920, Earhart and her father visited an

airfield where Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would

forever change Earhart's life. "By the time I had got two or

three hundred feet off the ground," she said, "I knew I had

to fly." After that 10-minute flight .She immediately became

determined to learn to. Earhart had her first lessons,

beginning on January 3, 1921, at Kinner Field, near Long

Beach. To reach the airfield, Earhart had to take a bus to

the end of the line, then walk four miles (6 km). Her

teacher was Anita "Neta" Snook, a pioneer female aviator

who used a surplus Curtiss JN-4 "Canuck" for training.

Earhart arrived with her father and a singular request, "I

want to fly. Will you teach me?"

FACTS ABOUT HER

• Despite having to attend six different high schools, she was able to graduate on time.

• Earhart was called “Lady Lindy” because her features resembled that of Charles Lindbergh.

• The United States government spent $4 million looking for Earhart, which made it the most costly and intensive air and sea search in history at that time.

THE UNKNOWN

 In 1936, Earhart started to plan a round-the-world flight.

She left California on May 21,1937

“I have a feeling that there is just about one more good flight left

in my system and I hope this trip is it. Anyway when I have

finished this job, I mean to give up long-distance”. She felt.

It has been determined that the plane went down some 35-

100 miles off the coast of Howland Island.

A life raft was stowed on board but no trace has ever been

found the raft.

AND DISSAPPEARED ON JULY 2, 1937 AT HOWLAND COAST. DECLARED DEAD ON JANUARY 5, 1939.
