Amelia Earhart was BORN in l897. No aircraft other than balloons existed at the time. The idea of a youth ambition just does not fly, so to speak-the earliest powered Blimp flight was around l902- ( a female one in l903 over Paris) the Wright Bros. pattern of l903 came in December l7 of that year. There were only a handful of aircraft in the United States when Amelia was say, ten years old- This is not like Mark Twain and his longing for the wheelhouse of a Mississippi Packet.
