After World War I was over Amelia went to university because she wanted to learn science. While she was in university she was dating a guy named 'Sam'. Amelia was always confused of why women must just give up on their career just because of a ring in their hand.
Sam asked Amelia to marry him, she said 'No' because she knew he wanted Amelia to leave her career.
In May 1923, Amelia became the sixteenth woman to be issued a pilot's licence by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale(FAI).
In 1928, she rode a observer on a translantic airplane flight from Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, to Burry Port, Wales.
In 1929, she found the 'Ninty -Nines' an international organisation of women pilots that provides professional opportunities to women aviation and wrote books that everybody loved.
Amelia grew up as a pioneer- she was one of the first people to do things. Some things that she did to be a pioneer is: - She was the second person to fly SOLO across the atlantic in 1932.
- She was the first person to fly SOLO from Hawaii to California in 1935.
- She was the first person to fly across the Pacific between Honolulu and Oakland,California.
- She was the first person to fly solo non-stop from Mexico City to Newark, New Jersey.
- She was the first person to fly solo non-stop from the coast to the coast across the united states.
- She was the first person to fly across the Atlantic ocean twice in 1932.
On April 27, 1926 Amelia got a phone call from Captain H.H. Railey who asked Amelia,"how would you like to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic?"
Amelia answered "yes".
It was actually a publisher named George Palmer Putnam who asked Captain H.H. Railey to ask Amelia if she wanted to fly Solo across the Atlantic ocean, but it was Amelia's choice if she wanted to fly solo or if she wanted a partner with her on her flight.
Amelia soon fell in love with George Palmer Putnam and George Palmer Putnam soon started to fall in love with Amelia, so George divorced his previous wife to marry Amelia.
