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:

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.

This week, Katie and I podcasted about Amelia Earhart?s mysterious disappearance and the ever-so-eerie Borley Rectory. We learned that Amelia was an incredibly enthusiastic pilot, but perhaps not the best navigator. Suddenly, that scene from ?Night at the Museum 2? makes more sense ? remember when Amelia says goodbye and flies off in the wrong direction? I hope the screenwriter was having a little laugh along with history buffs. Amelia comes to the big screen again in October. (Thank you, No
