Aviator Amelia Earhart became the first female pilot to accomplish a solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Flying the red Lockheed Vega 5B, Earhart traveled over 2,000 miles from Newfoundland to Ireland over the North Atlantic in just under 15 hours. For her solo transatlantic crossing on May 20, 1932, Earhart was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross by the United States Congress.
