In her 20s she fell in love with flight while watching an aerobatics exhibition and grew even more enthralled when she took her first airplane ride. At age 24 she earned her pilot's wings and in 1928 took part in the transatlantic "Friendship" flight. In 1937 she married publisher George Putnam who managed her career and promoted her zealously, ensuring her status as the world's best-known aviatrix. The next year she soloed the Atlantic, afterward receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross and began championing the efforts of women to explore careers traditionally held by men. Tragically, just days before her 40th birthday her plane vanished en route to a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean as she neared the end of her round-the-world journey. After an exhaustive search, no trace of the plane or Amelia was ever found. 538 Requires OverDrive Media Console (WMA file size: 75458 KB; MP3 file size: 147864 KB). 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Earhart, Amelia,|d1897-1937. 650 0 Women air pilots|zUnited States|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Air pilots|zUnited States|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Faulkner, Kris. 830 0 American heroes (Spokane, Wash.) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/|zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby
