America 250: Amelia Earhart – Leading Women into the Air

Amelia Earhart didn't just break records. She cleared the clouds for every woman who ever dreamed of the sky. Join us at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as curator Dorothy Cochrane shares the story of Amelia Earhart. Beyond her historic solo Atlantic crossing in the Lockheed Vega 5B, learn how Earhart and her partner George Putnam built a brand through books, lectures, and advocacy to keep her in the air.

As part of the America 250 initiative, we celebrate Earhart not just as a pilot, but as a promoter and pioneer who cleared the clouds for every woman who has followed in her flight path. ✈️
