Episode 101: Amazing Life & Tragedy of Amelia Earhart

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the life, achievements, and then the mysterious disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

On July 2, 1937, world renowned lady aviator Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were in communications with the US Coast Guard ship the Itasca. The Itasca was anchored right close to Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean awaiting the arrival of Amelia and Fred who were on their last legs of their famous flight around the world.

Amelia was the first women to fly across the Atlantic but she wished to be the first woman to fly around the world and not just around but at the earths longest distance--along the equator.

In the episode, I will discuss Amelia's birth in Atchison, Kansas, and then her schooling, her career and what led to her being one of the most famous women of all times.
