1928: Amelia Earhart with airplane
Five years after
Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight, Amelia Earhart became the second person to make the voyage. She was also the first woman to attempt the journey, flying
from Newfoundland, Canada to Londonderry in Northern Ireland. In 1937, just
five years after her historic journey, the intrepid aviator disappeared over
the Pacific Ocean while attempting to fly around the world. Her plane was never
found, and the mystery continues to intrigue history and aviation fans. In this
photo from Getty Images, Earhart poses in front of her bi-plane.
