Earhart became the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in May 1932. She set many other records, was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. She disappeared with navigator Fred Noonan somewhere over the Pacific Ocean in July, 1937 and has been the subject of numerous theories and conspiracies ever since. She was declared dead in 1939.
