FROM THE PUBLISHER

Question: Who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean?

Answer: Amelia Earhart! First, she flew as a passenger in 1928. Then she flew solo in 1932. Although her engine caught on fire and her plane was shaking, she landed in Ireland after over 20 hours in the air.

She worked as a nurse's aide in Canada during World War I.
She didn't agree to marry her husband, G.P. Putnam, until he had asked her six times.
She paid one dollar for her first airplane ride.

Amelia Earhart made history!
