Amelia Earhart
Kansas State Network
|
With the debut of the motion picture "Amelia," interest in the show's real-life subject, Kansas aviatrix Amelia Earhart -- the most famous of women aviators -- has seen a resurgence.
TV news anchor John Snyder, of KSN-W TV, Wichita's Channel 3 -- a keen student of aviation history, since his early career in the Wright Brothers' hometown, Dayton, Ohio -- called to interview me about Earhart, for a special segment on the evening news. |

Snyder interviewed me in the Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame, at the Kansas Aviation Museum in southeast Wichita. Here, in the Hall, I'm pointing out Amelia's photo and plaque, noting her role as the most famous of all the important Kansas aviation pioneers there -- and the most famous and influential of all the women aviators in world history.

The interview went well, and KSN News Director Jason Kravarik invited me to appear on his Cable 22 news magazine show, for an extended discussion of Earhart's colorful life, and her deep Kansas connections. |

Through her daring aerial exploits during the 1920s and 1930s, Earhart became the world's most conspicuous example of feminine talent in "masculine" endeavors, a graphic argument for women's equality, and a global icon of modern womanhood.
