She set many other records,wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, a women's pilots' organization.

She was the first woman pilot to attempt to fly the Atlantic. Earhart supposedly crashed in the ocean or on an island, and was never heard from again.

are you serious? she was only the most famous female aviator of all time. during her attempt to circle the globe, officials lost contact with her. it was assumed her plane crashed and she died. many theories surround her apparent death and what caused it.
