A DISAPPEARED DREAM

"The more she watched the beginning pilots learn to fly, the more she wanted to fly an airplane". This is a real history about a woman who disappeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

since she was a child her parent gave the doughters footballs, rifles, even her father took the girls on fishing trips. She was always a daredevil. Amelia served as a Red Cross nurses aide during War Word I. In that time she found sometime that really excited her. Flying. So Amelia took a job to earn money for flying lessons, and be the greatest flier of all. Her dream was realized in 1928. Amelia was the official log keeper on her first transatlantic flight. In 1937, Amelia and her navigator and husband Fred Noonan, were going to fly around the world at the equator. But in somewhere in the South Pacific she disappeared. No wreckage of airplane, and no bodies were found. There are a lot of versios of her disappearance. One is that the Jappanese army shot the airplane and fell into the ocean. Another said she was found and returnedto the United State and still living under a different name. Two more people have said, she was shot and buried. And one more person said that she was a U.S. spy. But in reality, nobody knows what happened to her. Some people continue to search for Amelia Earthart.

Marian -- you did some research on Amelia! It sounds like you admire her, and for good reason. You might find it interesting that she appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. The story was that she was abducted by aliens and wound up on another planet, far, far away! So maybe that is another theory about what happened to her. It's a mystery, but she certainly left an exciting legacy on this planet! She is an inspiration to many.

Marian,
If you enjoyed reading about Amelia E. ,you would also like reading the story of Beryl Markum, an African bush pilot during the same time period. The book is called "West with the Night". It's a great read! Beth
