A new scientific study suggests that the bones found in 1940 on the Pacific island of Nikumaroro actually belong to Amelia Earhart. This new study contradicts the forensic analysis done in 1941 that claimed the remains belonged to a man. Amelia Earhart went missing in 1937 during her attempt to circumnavigate the world by flight. Her disappearance has given birth to numerous theories and has been a topic of fascination for decades.

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Born on July 24, 1897, she was a tomboy in her childhood and fond of reading. It was on her visit to an airfield in 1920, when Frank Hawks, a known aviator, gave her short 10-min ride, that she discovered her love for flying. She did multiple jobs as a photographer, truck driver, nurse, and stenographer to save $1,000 for her flying lessons. After receiving her license, she created many records and became one of the most famous aviators in America.
