11 January - Amelia Earhart first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California.

 


Amelia Earhart made history by becoming the first person, regardless of gender, to fly solo from Hawaii to California. On 11 January 1935, Earhart successfully completed this solo flight, flying from Wheeler Field in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California. Her journey covered approximately 2,408 miles (3,868 kilometers) and took around 18 hours.

Amelia Earhart was a pioneering aviator and a trailblazer for women in aviation. She achieved numerous milestones throughout her career, including being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. Earhart's contributions to aviation and her courage in breaking gender barriers continue to inspire people around the world. Tragically, she disappeared during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937, and her disappearance remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
