Amelia Earhart

Back in the days when flying a plane was far more specialized a vocation, when pilots were called aviators instead of pilots, almost all of them were men.

One early exception was Amelia Earhart. Her story of personal challenge of a male dominated space, her excellence in both the skill of flying and public relations, and a tortured final flight that left her lost, her plane ditched and her whereabouts forever unknown, is a fascinating one. Books, films, investigative reports and documentaries have fanned the flames of conspiracy theories and supposed sure-fire explanations as to what happened to Amelia Earhart on her final, deadly round the world flight.

We will probably never know, no matter how many new clues and red herrings and theories come to light, what happened to this pioneering female aviator.

Amelia Earhart continues to fascinate journalists and bloggers alike. Read what some others have to say:

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
One of the best of the PBS "American Experience" series
Amelia Earhart is little known among today's younger generation. This is such a shame. She was a fearless aviation pioneer, who unlike Charles Lindbergh wasn't a racist or Nazi sympathizer. This is a must-see and must-own DVD for anyone interested in 20th Century American history. It's too bad that PBS has discontinued it from their catalogue. The Biography series episode on her life is also very good, but this one is even better.

It was the golden age of silent film, and she was the world's most celebrated actress. Known as America's sweetheart, Mary Pickford was famous for playing darling girls and feisty young women in wildly popular films seen around the globe. Her love affair with Hollywood's leading man, Douglas Fairbanks, turned her into an icon of glamour and romance, the Hollywood dream come true. But, as Mary would learn in the most painful way, fame is fickle and life at the top is precarious.
