Amelia Earhart was born in America in 1897. As a little girl, she could climb trees and catch rats. When she was seven years old, she discovered she was interested in flying. In 1920, Amelia took a plane and knew she had to fly! Just days after that, she took her first flying lesson. Six months later, she bought her own plane!
