        What Really Happened?

  Amelia Earhart was a pioneer of her day. She did not fit the mold of what a young lady was supposed to act like in that time frame.  She was adventurous, liked exploring and was fascinated with airplanes.  She liked to be in the public eye and the media and public were in awe of her achievements.  What she was able to accomplish seemed was extra-ordinary and never ending.  She had quite an extensive resume and it was continually growing.

    Emilia Earhart was born in 1867, in Atchison, Kansas. She had one younger sister and eventually the family moved to Des, Moines, Iowa.  There her and sister were home schooled until the family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, and then to Chicago, Illinois. In Chicago, she attended Hyde Park High School graduating in 1916. The extensive moving around impacted her as a youth and at times she was described as withdrawn.  Her Father had an extensive alcohol problem which he never could fully control and that also had a negative influence on her youth.

      As she matured into an adult Amelia and was trained as a nurse and worked at a military hospital. There she helped prepare food for people with special dietary needs and also passed out prescription medicine.  She also had to be hospitalized herself due to a sinus condition. The condition sometimes produced headaches and she had to convalesce for a year.  The conditions of her sinus never fully healed and she had to deal with this indefinitely.

    She attended college briefly and then had a life changing experience.  In Long Beach, California, on December 28th, 1920, she visited an airfield where a famous pilot (Frank Hawks) gave her a 10 minute ride in a airplane.  After that brief flight Amelia began to pursue a new interest in her life.  She was going to learn to fly at all costs.  It was her newly chosen vocation.

  To pursue the new found interest Amelia took a variety of jobs to help defer the costs.  She worked as a photographer, a truck driver, a stenographer and was able to save money for flying lessons.  To make it to Kinner Field in Long Beach where she received flying lessons she had to take a bus and then walk for four miles.  However, she was determined and the process of learning to fly was something she related to quite well.  After just a short time of training she bought a used Hand Yellow Kinner Airster Biplane.  A few weeks later she flew it to the height of 14,000 feet.  In 1923 she became the first women to obtain a Pilot's License.   

  She eventually sold the airplane and had some ups and downs as a young adult.  She had two sinus operations with one being successful. Also, she found work as teacher and social worker and ended up living in Medford, Massachusetts. There, she lived close to the Dension Airport where she continued her interest in flying.  She helped finance the airport and even wrote columns for local papers.  She was slowly becoming a celebrity and she also started a organization devoted to female pilots.

  Charles Lindbergh had completed his flight across the Atlantic ocean by this junction and there was talk about having a woman reciprocate the feat.  At this junction Amelia had become  known for her skills as a
