In 1928 Amelia became the first woman – and only the second person ever – to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

Nine years later, Amelia and Fred embarked on a flight that would take them around the world.

Fred’s job was to determine their location and the correct course so they would reach their destinations.

They left Miami on 1 June 1937, but on 2 July of that year their plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean.

The American and Japanese military sent planes to search for them, but found nothing.
