1928年時，愛蜜莉亞埃爾哈特接到一通改變她的一生的電話。有人邀請她成為第一位飛越大西洋的女性乘客。「去當名「額外的重量」這個主意一點都不吸引我」 她表示，然而她還是接受了這個提議。這趟行程因天氣因素一直延後出發，直到6月17日，愛蜜莉亞埃爾哈特才與副駕駛員威瑪比爾舒爾茨 (Wilmer "Bill" Stultz) 及路易斯史林喬登 (Louis "Slim" Gordon) 一起搭乘一架名為「友誼」的飛機橫越大西洋。飛機降落在南威爾斯的巴瑞洋 (Burry Port) 時，燃料已所剩不多後。

時至今日，飛越大西洋只需花費約七個小時，但埃爾哈特的大西洋之旅花了她多久的時間呢？

In 1928, Amelia Earhart received a phone call that would change her life. She was invited to become the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a plane. "The idea of just going as 'extra weight' did not appeal to me at all," she said, but she accepted the offer nonetheless. On June 17, after several delays due to bad weather, Amelia Earhart flew in a plane named Friendship with co-pilots Wilmer "Bill" Stultz and Louis "Slim" Gordon. The plane landed at Burry Port, South Wales, with just a small amount of fuel left.

Today, pilots routinely cross the Atlantic in about seven hours. How long was Earhart's flight?
