In 1930, after only 15 minutes of instruction, Earhart became the first woman to fly an autogiro, made by Pitcairn and featuring rotating blades to increase lift and allow short takeoffs and landings. Earhart set the first autogiro altitude record and made two autogiro cross-country tours, which were marked by three public crashes. Though Earhart was the most famous woman pilot, she was not necessarily the most skilled.

Amelia Earhart is one of the most famous American pilots. A record setting aviator, she was the second person to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic, the first person to fly solo and nonstop across the United States, and much more. She tragically went missing while attempting to fly around the world.

Earhart’s life, while tragically cut short, was many layered. In addition to the feats accomplished while in a plane, Earhart made an impact in areas from ranging from fashion to flying an autogiro. Here are five things you may not know about the famous American pilot.

The Wright brothers-you may have heard of them. But who exactly were they and what did they do?

The invention of the airplane by Wilbur and Orville Wright is one of the great stories in American history. The Wright brothers' invention not only solved a long-studied technical problem, but helped create an entirely new world.

Creating the First Heavier-Than-Air Powered Aircraft

The desire to fly is both ancient and universal. For centuries, humans took to the sky-by balloons, kites, and gliders. The Wrights took flight to the next level with the first successful heavier-than-air powered aircraft. At the center of the story of the first heavier-than-air powered flight are two talented, yet modest, Midwestern bicycle shop owners who created a world-changing technology: the Wright brothers.
Before They Were Aviators
The success of the 1903 Wright Flyer is perhaps one of the most iconic stories from American history. But how did Orville and Wilbur Wright end up as pioneering aeronautical engineers? Even before they got interested in flight, the Wrights' unique combination of engineering knowledge and skill, creative abilities, and personality traits were evident in the business pursuits they took on in the years before they began their groundbreaking aeronautical research.

Orville and Wilbur weren't the first in their family to participate in a historical moment. In fact, the Wright brothers' family story parallels many threads and movements in American history. Perhaps most importantly, the Wrights' family helped to shape them into the enterprising aeronautical engineers we know them as today.

Welcome to the Aerial Age

The Wright brothers' invention of the airplane, starting with the 1903 Wright Flyer, truly changed the world. Imagining what this new world would be like began as soon as the first airplanes took to the air in the early 1900s.
The Airplane Takes to the Battlefield
The 1909 Wright Military Flyer is the world's first military airplane. In 1908, the U.S. Army Signal Corps sought competitive bids for a two-seat observation aircraft. On June 3, 1909, the Wrights returned to Fort Myer with a new airplane to complete the trials begun in 1908, that were cut short by a crash. Satisfying all requirements, the Army purchased the airplane for $30,000, and conducted flight training with it at nearby College Park, Maryland, and at Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio, Texas, in 1910. It was donated to the Smithsonian in 1911.

At noon on December 17, 1903, Wilbur piloted the fourth and longest flight of the day, covering 852 feet(259 meters) in 59 seconds. After the fourth flight, a gust of wind toppled the flyer, cracking the engine and making any further attempts impossible.
