Was Amelia Earhart save people

Answer 1

Maybe there are myths that have arisen akin to those about Edison, Franklin, etc. as far as I know Amelia Earhart was never a rescue pilot - which does exist in the US Coast Guard- which had that time had no female members, let alone flying personnel. She did work in a Veteran"s Hospital which is of course socially useful, but not in the same league as say tossing life preservers to cast-off mariners... it"s a bit like this fictated jazz that Edison saved some kid from a potential RR accident at a grade crossing- and a railroad agent taught him telegraphy. nice story but no proof... as far as I know Amelia was not a rescue pilot of any stripe- a fictional character partly based on Amelia- taht is the fictional Linda Carlton was an aviatrix who on occasion did participate in mercy or charity type flights- what we would now call air ambulance service- but this was fiction. Linda Carlton made the scene around the mid-to late forties.
