Amelia Earhart began taking flying lessons in January 1921; and in six months she bought her first airplane, a second-hand Kinner Airster two-seater biplane, which she nicknamed “The Canary”. On October 22, 1922, Amelia Earhart flew The Canary to an altitude of 14,000 feet (4,300 m), setting a world record for female pilots.
“Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.” By Amelia Earhart |
