Her importance was mainly related to her interest in flying. Earhart had her first flight lesson January 3, 1921. She began to save money, and six months later saved enough to buy her first plane. Her first plane that she named “The Canary” was a biplane, had two seats and was bright yellow. In The Canary Earhart set her first women's record by flying 14,000 feet. In April of 1928 Amelia received a call from a man asking her if she wanted to become the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. She replied “yes.” Later the team left Trepassey Harbor, Newfoundland in “Friendship”, a Fokker F7. About 21 hours later arrived in Burry Port, Wales. On may 20, 1932 she flew from Grace Harbor, Newfoundland and headed to Paris. Due to poor weather and mechanical problems she had to land near Londonderry, Ireland. Earhart was the first women awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross award. She continued to set new records like reaching the altitude of 18,415 feet. Amelia was important because she helped show that women can do what men can
