    Amelia Earhart had the courage and independence to do anything she set her mind to. She is well known around the world for her many aeronautical accomplishments. Her bravery and tenacity are legendary. Her attempt to fly around the world is regarded as one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. Her flight around the world is legendary because of her unexpected and still undetermined disappearance. Amelia broke the stereo type boundaries and let the world know that she wasn’t afraid to be the best female aviator of her time. Her unexpected last flight was her attempt to fly around the world in 1937. Along the journey, Amelia and her partner Fred Noonan made sure to stop to have the Electra checked, refueled, and to tell everyone that they were safe (Candace Fleming 102). On July 2, Amelia and her partner left Lae, New Guinea, and the Electra apparently had 1,000 gallons of fuel. At 8:00 GMT, Amelia made her last radio contact with Lae (Pop Culture Universe). They had short communications with the Itasca, which received the last transmission saying that gas was low. There are many conspiracies to how she disappeared, but the most popular are that she landed on Gardner Island, crashed into the sea, or fell victim to the Japanese during the time of war.…

    Amelia Earhart was declared legally dead on January 5, 1939, after the most expensive air and sea search in American history. The first search for Amelia Earhart started on July 2, 1937, and was lead by the U.S Navy and Coast Guard.
