Childhood of Amelia..

childhood
Amelia Mary Earhart, daughter of Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart (1867-1930) and Amelia
"Amy" (neeOtis) (18691962),was born inAtchison, Kansas, in thehome of her maternal
grandfather, Alfred Gideon Otis (18271912), a formerfederal judge, president of the
Atchison Savings Bank and a leading citizen in the town

 Amelia was the second child of the

marriage, after an infant stillborn in
August 1896.[She was of
partGermandescent. Alfred Otis had
not initially favoured the marriage
and was not satisfied with Edwin's
progress as a lawyer. Earhart was
named, according to family custom,
after her two grandmothers (Amelia
Josephine Harris and Mary Wells
Patton).From an early age Earhart,
nicknamed "Meeley"

Early flying experience..

At about that time, with a
young woman friend,
Earhart visited an air fair
held in conjunction with
theCanadian National
Exposition in Toronto.
One of the highlights of
the day was a flying
exhibition put on by a

pilot overhead spotted Earhart and her friend, who were watching from an isolated clearing, and dived at them. "I am sure he said to himself, 'Watch me make them scamper,'" she said. Earhart stood her ground as the
aircraft came close. "I did not understand it at the time," she said, "but I believe that little red airplane said something to me .

Earhart's commitment to flying required her to accept the frequently hard work and rudimentary conditions that accompanied early aviation training. She chose a leather jacket, but aware that other aviators would be judging her, she slept in it for three nights to give
the jacket a "worn" look. To complete her image transformation, she also cropped her hair short in the style of other female flyers. [

Six months later, Earhart purchased a second hand bright yellowKenner Arrester biplane which she nicknamed "The Canary." On October 22, 1922, Earhart flew the Arrester to an altitude of
14,000 feet (4,300m), setting a world record for female pilots. On May 15, 1923, Earhart became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot's license by theFederation Aeronautic International

Legacy
Earhart was a widely known
international celebrity during her
lifetime. Her shyly charismatic
appeal, independence, persistence,
coolness under pressure, courage
and goal-oriented career along with
the circumstances of her
disappearance at a comparatively
early age have driven her
lastingfame inpopular culture

is
.

Hundreds of articles and scores of books have been written about her life which is often cited as a motivational tale, especially for girls. Earhart is generally regarded as a feminist icon.
Earhart's accomplishments in aviation inspired a generation of female aviators

including the more than 1,000 women pilots of theWomen Air force Service Pilots(WASP) who ferried military aircraft, towed gliders, flew target practice aircraft, and
served as transport pilots during World War

 A small section of Earhart's Lockheed

Electra starboard engine nacelle
recovered in the aftermath of the
Hawaii crash has been confirmed as
authentic and is now regarded as a
control piece that will help to
authenticate possible future
discoveries. The evaluation of the
scrap of metal was featured on an
episode ofHistory Detectives on
Season 7 in 2009 .
