All I knew about Amelia Earheart before, is that she was an american aviation pioneer and an author, apparently not very much. Also, I believe that she was the first woman to ever receive the "Distinguished Flying Cross" medal. That's pretty much it, I found her life a bit uninteresting, Aviation is just not my field of interest. But I have recently learned that Amelia Earheart disappeared on July 1937 somewhere in the pacific ocean and that sparked my interests. Although I am not clear with the details, I have also read that no remains of Amelia was ever found to this day.
