In 1937, pioneering American pilot Amelia Earhart looked to make aviation history by becoming the first woman to complete an aerial circumnavigation of the globe. Flying a Lockheed Electra 10E with her navigator Fred Noonan, Earhart disappeared while airborne between Lae Airfield and Howland Island, with the whereabouts of the aircraft, as well as herself and Noonan, still unknown to this day.
