Earhart
On May 20–21, 1932, Earhart became the first woman — and the second person after Charles Lindbergh — to fly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Flying a red Lockheed Vega 5B, she left Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Canada, and landed about 15 hours later near Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Amelia Earhart (b. 24 July 1897 - d. 2 July 1937) was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932 (and the Pacific Ocean on January 11, 1935).
This was Amelia Earhart. She became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in a Lockheed Vega 5b, taking off from Harbour Grace in Newfoundland on 20th May 1932. She landed in Culmore, in Co. Derry, Northern Ireland just over 14 hours later. For her feat, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by the US Senate.
She did make a transatlantic flight with two male colleagues four years earlier, accompanying pilot Wilmer Stultz and engineer Louis Gordon on a flight from Newfoundland to Wales in the huge triple-engined Fokker F.VIIIb 'Friendship II' - however, at the time she held no instrument rating, and as most of the flight was at night-time she was just a passenger on the trip.
Earhart went missing on 2nd July 1937, whilst attempting to fly from California to Hawaii with her navigator and co-pilot Fred Noonan. Their 'plane, a twin-engined Lockheed Electra, disappeared somewhere near the Nukumaru islands South West of Hawaii. Neither they nor their aircraft have ever been recovered.
The first woman who flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean was Amelia Earhart. She accomplished this journey on May 20, 1932 when she took off from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and landed in Northern Ireland.
Amelia Earhart made the first feminine solo Atlantic flight- in l932. there were several unsuccessful attempts including the possibly borderline San Rafael mission which was Launched on July 4, l927- oddly, the day that Gina Lollobrigida was born. there is a morass of conflicting evidence on San Rafael, which was somewhat improbably sponsored by the I believe the Carling Brewing company of Canada, and was aimed at the northern frontier- almost an arctic flight, there is some evidence a submarine may have been involved, it is very murky, but a curious rival to Amelia that has not gotten big media interest.
