‘The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity’.

Amelia Earhart 1897 – 1937 (disappeared – delcared dead 1939)

Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many records and was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel.

She also wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of ‘The Ninety-Nines’, an organization for female pilots.
