Description
“Please know I am quite aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it.” ~Amelia Earhart. The American aviation legend disappeared without a trace on July 2, 1937 while attempting to be the first person to fly around the world at the equator. Historian Jim Gibbons presents the life of the woman known as “Lady Lindy.” Did she drown at sea, live out the rest of her life on a secluded island or be imprisoned by the Japanese as a spy for the United States Government? Mr. Gibbons will present the life and death, and the facts and theories of America’s first woman aviator, Amelia Earhart!
