Because of she was a pioneer - both in aviation and in social aspect (as a woman who refused to follow the social limitation for women in her era), and set some prominent and important records in the "golden" pioneering era of aviation. Also she had an attractive personality, being courageous, smart, intelligent, good-looking and certainly charismatic - that additionally attracted the people's attention to her, and made her a kind of embodiment of the best features of the American national character.
She went down in history because she risked her life to do what all women can do not just men.
She was the first woman pilot to ever try and travel around the world. Earhart went down somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Probably in the Bermuda Triangle.
I have read several books about Amelia Earhart and her flights and have never even heard this suggested. the possibility of abduction after a forced-down or crash landing- yes, possibly by Japanese military men, but I have never heard the (Hijack) idea even put forward as a theory.
Amelia Earhart disappeared 2 July 1937 and was declared dead 5 January 1939. Her plane went down over the Pacific Ocean during an attempt to fly all the way around the world.Another AnswerSince she disappeared, that is not known. God knows and advanced extraterrestrial species might know as well.Amelia Earhart disappeared July 2, 1937 and was declared dead January 5, 1939. She disappeared while making an attempt to fly completely around the world. Her plane went down over the Pacific Ocean.
Amelia Earhart was involved in a variety of unusual activities- some not related at all to Aviation, such as fashion design, luggage marketing, some with borderline applications- she was down on a submarine once and locked-out in a diving suit.-but I am not aware of this one. she went missing in the Pacific islands but never went there for fishing, to my knowledge.
She went down in history because she risked her life to do what all women can do not just men.
It has been 75 years since Amelia went down, so she went down in 1937.
Nobody ever found out
Amelia Earhart flew across the atlantic ocean solo in plane called the friendship she started out in Boston and touched down in London.
Amelia Earhart's body has never been found. She disappeared on July 2, 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe and her disappearance remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean,somewhere near Howland Island.
It is Amelia Mary Earhart, not what you spelled. this is her full name prior to getting hitched up ( in both senses!) a misguided coupling- with George Putnam- yes the publishing family. seems to be a dominant, more or less Phil Spector type conning up bizarre schemes for Veronica- err Amelia. i would be fun if you crossed the plot lines, Amy goes down for the count, but Ronnie- well powers on to Be My Baby!

Ok here's what happened to Amelia Earhart people say she crashed in the pacific that's true but here is the story behind that. Amelia Earhart was sent on a mission to fly across the pacific. She didn't want to turn that chance down so she toke it. She was an amazing flier also Amelia Earhart had a navigator named Fred Noonan. Amelia Earhart had a piece of paper Fred Noonan wrote on and it said to fly left but she taught it was wrong so she flew right. After a while she knew it was wrong. Ok why she crashed is because she didn't want any extra weight on the plane so she barley filled the gas tank half way and that is how she crashed.
Amelia Earhart was a real tomboy! She shot rats with a 22. rifle, belly slammed her sled in the snow to make it go down hill and she loved rollercoasters! She never wore the uniforms pilots had to wear. She wore whatever she wanted.
