Till 1928, flying was only her hobby. This changed when Amelia received a
call from Captain Hilton H Railey. He asked her to join pilots Wilmer
Stultz and Louis Gordon on a flight from the United States to England.
Though Amelia was just a passanger, she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic. The plane they flew in was 'The Friendship' and the trip was made on June 17-18, 1928. A publisher named George Putnam wrote an article on the flight and in 1931, Amelia married him.
After this, Amelia got tremendous publicity. In May 1932, she crossed the Atlantic alone and set a new transatlantic crossing record of 13 hours, 30 minutes. She received a medal from American President Herbert Hoover for this.
