Amelia Earhart - The Woman Who Flew Into a Legend
She soared where few dared to fly—and vanished without a trace.
Amelia Earhart wasn’t just an aviator. She was a global sensation, a trailblazer who defied gravity, convention, and the limitations placed on women of her time. In 1932, she crossed the Atlantic alone, battling ice, storms, and a failing aircraft to land in a windswept Irish field—and land herself in the pages of history.
But it wasn’t just her record-breaking flights that captivated the world—it was her courage, her charisma, and the tantalizing mystery that would come to define her legacy.
In 1937, as she attempted to circumnavigate the globe, Amelia vanished over the Pacific Ocean. No distress call. No wreckage. No answers. Just silence.
In this edge-of-your-seat episode, Keith retraces her final flight, unpacks the theories, the myths, and the conspiracies—and reveals what he believes really happened to the woman who dared to chase the edge of the world.
This is the legend of Amelia Earhart—rebellious, fearless, and forever lost to the sky.
