Amelia Earhart (The First Names Series)

Meet the woman who took flight! Before she was one of the greatest pioneers in American aviation, Amelia Earhart was just a little Kansas tomboy with a taste for adventure. But when she visited an airfield and took her first ride in a plane, her life changed forever. She bought a plane, crashed (many times!), and became a daredevil pilot who broke flight records and proved to the world that women could do anything that men could do. Her final flight was intended to be a trip around the whole world, but her plane vanished after takeoff - and her disappearance is still a mystery today.
