Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean on June 17-18, 1928. She was a passenger on a flight piloted by Wilmer Stultz and co-piloted by Louis Gordon, making the historic journey from Newfoundland, Canada, to Wales. Although she did not pilot the aircraft herself during this flight, her involvement significantly raised her profile and contributed to her status as a pioneering aviator.
