The first transatlantic flight by a woman was completed by Amelia Earhart in June 1928. However, for this journey, she was a passenger because at this time she had no training for the instruments in the aircraft that was flown by Wilmer Stultz. The first solo transatlantic flight by a woman was also completed by Amelia Earhart on May 20, 1932. The first transatlantic flight by a woman that was flown from Europe to America (instead of the other way, as Earhart had done) was completed by Beryl Markham on September 4-5, 1936.
