As a child, Amelia Earhart wondered why there were no heroines in her favorite adventure stories. She resolved to change that when she grew up. And so she did, becoming one of the pioneers of aviation. Not only was Amelia the first woman in the world to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, she was the first person to cross it twice. Her life became a great adventure story--and a mystery, too. In 1937, on an around-the-world flight, Amelia disappeared. Today, Amelia's courage and spirit remain an inspiration to everyone who flies or dreams of adventure.
