As the first women to take flight, Amelia wanted to fly across the world. In March 1937 Amelia and Paul Mantz took flight to Hawaii to start off their trip. After a failed take off attempt, she had to wait till June. After trying again in June she took Fred Noonan as her new partner. Little did they know this would be their last flight. Ever.
