Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan
Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan, and their airplane disappeared somewhere in the Pacific in 1937. They had left Miami, Florida, on June 1, 1937, with the goal of flying around the world. On June 29, they had reached Papua New Guinea, and they had around 7,000 more miles to go. Then they failed to report. The government looked for their airplane for weeks, but no evidence was ever found. People continue to look for their remains. Children can learn more at: Earhart Disappearance.
