Amelia Earhart:
The fear are paper tigers.
You're the best!

Amelia Earhart  1897.7.24-1937.07

Amelia Earhart 不害怕打破界線。1928，她成為第一位飛越大西洋的女乘客。然後在1932，她成為第一位飛越大平洋的女性駕駛員。在過去那個時代並沒有很多女性駕駛員，她的行為鼓勵了其他女性，促使她們勇於追求她們的夢想。這是項極為重要的改變，因為當時的女性並沒有什麼工作機會。Amelia Earhart 啟發了世世代代的女性，讓她們勇於嚐試過去的女人從未做過的事。

1897年7月24日，Amelia Earhart 出生於堪薩斯州的亞欽森 (Atchison) 在當時，飛機並不像現在那麼的常見。埃爾哈特直到12歲才第一次看到飛機，而到1920年她才第一次飛行。第一次搭飛機時，埃爾哈特非常的興奮，所以她迫不及待的報名參加飛行課程。她寫道：「當我一離開地面，我就知道我自己必須要飛」。

Amelia Earhart 飛越大西洋
1928，Amelia Earhart 接到一通改變她的一生的電話。有人邀請她成為第一位飛越大西洋的女性乘客。「去當名「額外的重量」這個主意一點都不吸引我」 她表示，然而她還是接受了這個提議。這趟行程因天氣因素一直延後出發，直到6月17日，愛蜜莉亞埃爾哈特才與副駕駛員Wilmer "Bill" Stultz)及Louis "Slim" Gordon一起搭乘一架名為「友誼」的飛機橫越大西洋。飛機降落在南威爾斯的Burry Port時，燃料已所剩不多後。

時至今日，飛越大西洋只需花費約七個小時，但Amelia Earhart 第一次橫越大西洋時，總共耗費20多個小時！自那次飛行後，Amelia Earhart 成為媒體的寵兒，她不停的受邀出 席各種宴會，甚至有人在紐約市的百老匯街上為她舉行拋紙帶的遊行。Coolidge總統也致電祝賀她的成功。因為Amelia Earhart 的創紀錄生涯及外觀都很類似駕駛 員先鋒及美國英雄林白，因此有人膩稱她為Lady Lindy。Amelia Earhart 把那次飛行的感覺發表在20 Hrs., 40 Min.一書中。她仍不停的創新記錄。另外，她也不斷的琢磨她的演講及寫作技巧，努力的宣揚女性成就，尤其在飛行方面的貢獻。

最後一次飛行
1928年時，以一名乘客的身份飛越大西洋後，Amelia Earhart 的下一個目標就是自行橫渡大西洋。1927年時，Charles Lindbergh單獨不著陸飛越大西洋。1932年時，也就是林白完成壯舉的五年後，埃爾哈特成為第一位單獨不著陸飛越大西洋的女性駕駛員。她的聲望與日俱增，毫無疑問的，她已經成為空中女王！然而，她仍然希望能達成更多成就。

她決定她的下一趟旅程將是環球飛行。1937年3月時，她跟她的同伴保羅芒茲 (Paul Mantz) 一起飛到夏威夷，準備開始這趟環球飛行。然而飛機起飛時卻失控，因而只好將飛機送回工廠修理。

六月時，她來到邁阿密，準備再次挑戰環球飛行，這一次她邀請Fred Noonan當她的領航員。沒有人知道她為什麼不帶重要的通訊設備及導航儀器。有人猜測或許是為了要讓出空間來存放長途飛行要用的額外燃料。即使Amelia Earhart 又累又病，他們兩人在短短的21天就到達了New Guinea 。在下一段旅程中，他們自新幾內亞起飛，準備飛往一座座落在太平洋中間，名叫Howland Island的小島。最後的一次通訊記錄是1937年7月2日，Amelia Earhart 及Noonan與附近的海上防衛隊通話。後來就再也沒有聽到他們的音訊了。

美國海軍動員了大批人力，執行超過兩週的Amelia Earhart 及努南搜尋任務。有些仰慕者無法接受埃爾哈特就怎麼消失不見，因而相信她是一名間諜或是被美國的敵人抓走了。搜尋任務結束後，海軍交出了一份報告，報告裡面還包括了一份搜尋範圍的地圖。他們表示他們找不到飛機的殘骸、Amelia Earhart 或Noonan的下落。沒有人知道到底發生了什麼事，但許多人相信他們一定是迷路了，在用盡燃料後喪生。當時，她離她的40歲生日只差一個月。

Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas, on July 24, 1897. In those days, airplanes were not nearly as common as they are today. Earhart was 12 years old before she ever saw an airplane, and she did not take her first flight until 1920. Amelia Earhart was so thrilled by her first airplane ride that she quickly began to take flying lessons. She wrote, "As soon as I left the ground, I knew I myself had to fly."

Amelia Earhart wasn't afraid to break down barriers. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly as a passenger across the Atlantic Ocean. Then, in 1932, she became the first woman to pilot a plane across that ocean. There weren't many female pilots back then, and her actions inspired other women to follow their dreams. This was especially important because there were few career choices available to women at that time. Amelia Earhart has inspired generations of women to do things that had never been done by women before.

After flying across the Atlantic as a passenger in 1928, Amelia Earhart's next goal was to achieve a transatlantic crossing alone. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic. In 1932, exactly five years after Lindbergh's flight, Earhart became the first woman to repeat the feat. Her popularity grew even more. She was the undisputed queen of the air! Still, she wanted to achieve more. What did Earhart do next?

She decided that her next trip would be to fly around the world. In March 1937, she flew to Hawaii with fellow pilot Paul Mantz to begin this flight. Earhart lost control of the plane on takeoff, however, and the plane had to be sent to the factory for repairs.

In June, she went to Miami to again begin a flight around the world, this time with Fred Noonan as her navigator. No one knows why, but she left behind important communication and navigation instruments. Perhaps it was to make room for additional fuel for the long flight. The pair made it to New Guinea in 21 days, even though Earhart was tired and ill. During the next leg of the trip, they departed New Guinea for Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. July 2, 1937, was the last time Earhart and Noonan communicated with a nearby Coast Guard ship. They were never heard from again. What do you think happened?


The U.S. Navy conducted a massive search for Earhart and Noonan that continued for more than two weeks. Unable to accept that Earhart had simply disappeared and perished, some of her admirers believed that she was a spy or was captured by enemies of the United States. The Navy submitted a report following its search, which included maps of search areas. Neither the plane nor Earhart nor Noonan were ever found. No one knows for sure what happened, but many people believe they got lost and simply ran out of fuel and died. Amelia Earhart was less than a month away from her 40th birthday.

In 1928, Amelia Earhart received a phone call that would change her life. She was invited to become the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a plane. "The idea of just going as 'extra weight' did not appeal to me at all," she said, but she accepted the offer nonetheless. On June 17, after several delays due to bad weather, Amelia Earhart flew in a plane named Friendship with co-pilots Wilmer "Bill" Stultz and Louis "Slim" Gordon. The plane landed at Burry Port, South Wales, with just a small amount of fuel left.

Earhart's first trip across the Atlantic took more than 20 hours! After that flight Earhart became a media sensation. Following the trip, she was given parties and even a ticker tape parade down Broadway in New York City. President Coolidge called to congratulate her on crossing the Atlantic. Because Earhart's record-breaking career and physical appearance were similar to pioneering pilot and American hero Charles Lindbergh, she earned the nickname "Lady Lindy."

Earhart wrote a book about her first flight across the Atlantic, called 20 Hrs., 40 Min. She continued to break records. She also polished her skills as a speaker and writer, always advocating women's achievements, especially in aviation.
