MDHS kicks off its 2023 seasons with the intriguing story of Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.As a woman, Amelia Earhart was a trend-setter in society at a time when ambition was seen as “un-ladylike”. As a pilot, she was a trailblazer and achieved many firsts. For these traits alone, her memory would live on but the mystery surrounding her disappearance ensures that she will remain an historic figure for generations to come. The presentation will highlight Earhart’s contributions to history as a woman and an aviatrix and spend some time examining the various theories of what happened to her and her navigator on that fateful flight in July 1937 over the Pacific.
Mike Venables, our presenter, is an aerospace design engineer and a pilot who has long been fascinated by mysteries of the air. He is now living in Merrickville.
