On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan and the Lockheed Electra they were flying were lost in the Pacific Ocean. Almost as tragic as her loss on that July day is that, today, it seems as though that last flight is all she is remembered for. Yet there is so much more. To draw attention to the balance of that rich life that seems to get overlooked, we are re-creating another of Amelia's many record-setting flights. This flight was in 1928, nearly a decade earlier than her last.\n\nExpedition Site\n
