ATCHISON, KANSAS. AT A LONG BEACH AIR SHOW IN 1920, ASHE

TOOD A PLANE RIDE THAT TRANSFORMED HER LIFE. IT WAS

ONLY 10 MINUTES, BUT WHEN SHE LANDED EMELIA KNEW SHE

HAD TO LEARN TO FLY.

 

IN THE SUMMER OF 1921, EARHART PURCHASED A SECOND-HAND

KINNER AIRSTER BIPLANE PAINTED BRIGHT YELLOW. SHE

NICKNAMED IT “THE CANARY,” AND SET OUT TO MAKE A NAME

FOR HERSELF IN AVIATION. IN 1923, EARHART, FONDLY KNOW AS

“LADY LINDY,” BECAME THE 16TH WOMAN TO BE ISSUED A

PILOT’S LICENSE.

AS THE FIRST PERSON TO FLY OVER BOTH THE ATLANTIC AND

PACIFIC.

CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE GLOBE FROM THE EQUATOR. SINCE

THEN, SEVERAL THEORIES HAVE FORMED REGARDING

EARHART’S LAST DAYS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN

CONNECTED TO VARIOUS ARTIFACTS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND ON

PACIFIC ISLANDS — INCLUDING CLOTHING, TOOLS AND MORE

RECENTLY, FRECKLE CREAM.
