    • Trivia
      The movie shows Amelia Earhart finishing third in the first Santa Monica-to-Cleveland Women's Air Derby in 1929, but doesn't explain why. Earhart and her friend Ruth Nichols were tied for first at the last stop before the final leg. Nichols took off right before Earhart, but her plane clipped a tractor on the runway and flipped over. Instead of taking off, Earhart ran to Nichols's plane to drag her to safety. After Earhart was sure that Nichols was not seriously hurt, she took off for Cleveland and finished third. Women in the Wind (1939) is based on the same air race and features a plot loosely inspired by the incident.
    • Goofs
      When Amelia's first round-the-world attempt crashes on the runway in Hawaii, only Amelia and Fred Noonan are on board. The plane actually had three occupants, the third being U.S. Naval Officer Harry Manning. When Amelia made her second attempt to fly around the world, Manning stayed behind.

    Excellent

    A tasteful, excellent film... way more than what some reviewers have said, well written, well acted,and thoroughly enjoyable. I'd recommend it for young women as a history lesson and story about what women have done in American history. And, I recommend it to all the women who have fought so hard for women's rights, and all the men who truly love women. Will someone please do movies on many of the other wonderful women of our history? And, follow the example of this film, please. Congratulations to everyone involved! I almost didn't go because of some of the silly reviews from people saying it was long, or the end was bad, or it was like a Discovery Ch. travel picture. Do these sad souls need a lot of cranky language and boring crashes just to feel like they've seen a movie, too many video games? This was beautiful and thoughtful... Thank you!
