A tire not normal for nice little girls. Earhart went against the grain of traditional gender roles. She played basketball, took an auto repair course, and briefly attended college. And in December 1920, Earhart took her first airplane ride in California with famed World War I pilot Frank Hawks. From then on, she was hooked.
Here is history curator Dorothy Cochrane. From the time Amelia was young, she knew that she wanted to do something different. She became enamored with aviation and set her sights on that. Amelia Earhart learned to fly from Netta Snook, one of the rare female instructors of the era. She took a number of odd jobs just to be able to afford her flight lessons and she drove trucks and she was a photographer. Shortly after taking her first flights, she began record setting. Amelia had many interests prior to her aviation accomplishments.
She had been a pre-med student, nurse's aide during the outbreak of the Spanish flu, telephone operator, truck driver, social worker, and rider. But she loved aviation and when she was 25 she bought her first airplane in 1922. That year she set a woman's altitude record, the first woman to fly above 14,000 feet. As her fame grew, she was soon dubbed Lady Lindy after Charles Lindbergh, known as Lucky Lindy. After Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927, pilot Amy Guest expressed interest in being the first woman to fly or be flown across the Atlantic Ocean.
After deciding that the trip was too perilous for her to undertake, she offered to sponsor the project, suggesting that they find another girl with the right image. While at work one afternoon in April 1928, Earhart got a phone call from Captain Hilton H. Railey who asked her, Would you like to fly the Atlantic? On June 17, 1928, Earhart accompanied the pilot Wilmer Stoltz and co-pilot and mechanic Louie Gordon on the flight, nominally as a passenger but with the added duty of keeping the flight log. Stoltz did all the flying, had to. I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes, Earhart said.
Maybe someday I'll try it alone. She was inspired. Earhart consistently worked to promote opportunities for women in aviation. In 1929, after placing third in the All Woman's Air Derby, the first transcontinental air race for women, Earhart helped to form the 99s, an international organization for the advancement of female pilots, which still exists to this day.
As of 2018, there were 155 99 chapters across the globe. In five years, she had accomplished a lot. The great solo transatlantic flight still called to her. And on May 20, 1932, Amelia Earhart climbed into her single engine Lockheed Vega 5B. Taking off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, she was attempting to be the first woman to make the flight. Her plan was to fly into Paris.
However, due to some technical and weather complications, things changed. Here is Amelia Earhart recounting her trip. I took off the famous Harbor Grace runway at dusk, about 7.30, I believe. I flew for a couple of hours while sunset lasted, and then two more hours as the moon came up over a bank of clouds. I had fair weather for four hours. Then I ran into a storm which was one of the most severe I have ever been in. I milled around in the storm for probably an hour, and with difficulty kept my course.
I had been troubled with my exhaust manifold burning through all night. A weld broke shortly after I left Harbor Grace, and I could see the damage increasing as the night wore on. I found specific thunderstorms probably three or four hundred miles off the coast of Ireland. I believe I saw land first about the middle. I decided to come down anyway in the best available pasture. I got down without any trouble and taxied to the front door of a surprised farmer cottage. After receiving a real Irish welcome, I took a paramount plane to London, and there received a real English welcome.
In just under 15 hours and about 2,000 miles later, she landed north of Derry, Northern Ireland. She had made history. After her great Irish welcome, she was off to London.
I ve done it. Those were Lady Lindy s words when she got out of her machine in the field near the little village of Cornwall. And all the villagers cheered her.
Isn t she amazing? She doesn t look as though she just battled with the elements for 2,000 miles in one of the most wonderful flights ever made. After staying the first night in Londonderry, she flew on as a passenger next day to London.
At Hanworth, the American ambassador is present to greet her, still in her flying kit, since she carried no change of clothing and had only $20 in her pocket. And now, from the American embassy where she is staying, she emerges on the morrow to go shopping and to provide herself with feminine garments to replace the masculine attire in which she made her historic flight. Even after such a great feat, people were still concerned with her not-so-feminine appearance.
But that did not downplay the outstanding accomplishment of this solo transatlantic flight. Her welcome home to New York was the stuff of celebrities. All New York turned up to greet her.
Mayor Walker honored and welcomed her. You remember that some five years before you took off, when Colonel Lindbergh made his solo flight across the Atlantic and coined the aeronautical wee that it remained of the masculine gender for some five years thereafter until you took off. And it seems to me as if you have at last cleaned up that aeronautical wee and taken the sex out of it. Ms. Earhart, you are truly and indeed welcome in the city of New York. She had taken the sex out of the accomplishment.
It was now something anyone could do. As the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic, Earhart received the Distinguished Flying Cross from Congress, which is a military decoration awarded for heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight. She also received the Cross of Night of the Legion of Honor from the French government and the Gold Medal of the National Geographic Society from President Herbert Hoover. Ms. Earhart and Mrs. Putnam, it gives me a very great deal of pleasure to present you with this rarely conferred medal. All of America is proud of you and your performance.
I do thank you sincerely. I fear my exploit was not worth so great an honor. Amelia Earhart, as humble as ever. Her journey did not end there. In fact, later that year, she became the first woman to fly across the U.S., starting in Los Angeles, California, and landing in Newark, New Jersey. It took me about 19 hours and a few minutes to make the trip.
I wish I could have done it faster. Never satisfied and always competing against herself, Amelia Earhart had flown her way into history. I'm Faith Buchanan, and this is Our American Stories.
And great job on that, Faith, and what a story. My goodness, the accomplishments, the distinguished flying cross, and the first woman to ever get it. And she got that from Congress. And when she got an award from the President of the United States, said, I feel my exploit was not worthy of such an honor. And when you listen to her, and that was her. We love doing that, bringing you the actual voices of people.
I particularly love those old audio reels, because it's just, well, it's not perfect audio. But my goodness, who cares, it's real. And she was the first to fly across the United States as well, 19 hours and a few minutes. And when asked about that accomplishment, she said, I wish I would have done it faster. And always the competitor, a deep competitive zeal in nature. This amazing story here brought to us, as always, by the great folks at Hillsdale College, here on Our American Story.
