6. Captain Rene Fonck, a French flying ace who shot down 75 planes in WWII, was one of the pilots who tries to fly the Alantic and failed.
7. This is why the Frensh failed:
Fonck’s plane (the S-35) had three montors and couls seat four people. It was too big and crashed just after its first take off. The famous helicopter designer,
Sikorsky, built the plane in 1926.

Result: the carbs in the bread raise bolld sugar just enough to keep the pilot energy.
13. Today the plane is on permanent display at the Air and Space Mesume of the Smithsonian Institute in WashtAmelia worried that marriage would stifle her.on DC.
14. Anne Morrow Lindbergh said of her husband’s fame:
? “He’s been made an American hero and partly that is because he did it alone. I think that is quite American, actually, to do things alone”

24. In 1932, “Lady Lindy” won renown when she landed in a field in Northern Ireland, after a fifteen-hour flight from Newfoundland in her bright red Lockheed Vega. She
was the first woman to pilot a solo trans-Atlantic flight.
25. The Vega with its pilot.
26. In 1935, seeking to increase female enrollment, Purdue University President Edward C. Elliott invited Amelia Earhart serve as a consultant in the Department of the
study of careers for women and as a technical advisor in the Department of Aeronautics.
27. At Purdue, Earhart hatched her plan to circumnavigate the globe by air. Funds raised through the Purdue Research Foundation secured the Lockheed Electra 10E the
trip would require. Numerous photographs from the ear show Earhart disembarking from that aircraft at the Purdue airport.
28. Amelia was piloting her Lockheed Electra around the world when, three-quarters of the way through the voyage, she and nag
