In 1928, Amelia Earhart accomplished a significant aviation feat. She became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. However, it's important to note that she did not fly solo on this particular flight. Earhart was a passenger and a member of the crew on board the aircraft named "Friendship." The flight departed from Trepassey, Newfoundland, Canada, and landed in Burry Port, Wales, United Kingdom. This achievement helped Earhart gain recognition and pave the way for her future endeavors in aviation.
