On the morning of July 2, 1937, a female pilot and her navigator, took off from New Guinea, on one of the last legs in their historic attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Their next destination was Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean, around 2,500 miles away.  The trailblazing female pilot had already set several aviation records, and she was looking to set another by becoming the first woman to fly around the world. But something went wrong on this attempt, and the pilot, her navigator and the plane were never seen again. The pilot was a woman named Amelia Earhart, and this is the story of her life and disappearance.
