'''Amelia Earhart''' (born in 1897
Earhart is probably most famous today for her mysterious disappearance over the central Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, along with second navigator Fred Noonan, during an attempted circumnavigation of the globe. Although the most commonly accepted theory is that Earhart's plane either simply ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean, or made an emergency landing on an uninhabited island, numerous [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink|conspiracy theories abound]], everything from [[Spy Ship|failed espionage attempts]] to [[Secret Identity|secret identities]] to [[Alien Abduction]]. Recent{{when}} archaeological excavations have most likely found her castaway site,{{verify}} but this will probably do nothing to halt the conspiracy theories.
Less well known is that Earhart was also a successful writer. She wrote many articles for ''Cosmopolitan'' magazine, and published two best-seller books on her experiences as a pilot and as a female pilot, ''20 Hrs., 40 Min.'' and ''The Fun of It''.
