We know enough about Amelia Earhart at this point that we really should spend more time on other woman flight pioneers, and there are many that deserve to be remembered.
- Earhart was a bad pilot and was considered dangerously incompetent by some who worked with her
- She didn't understand how her equipment worked, and would fail to learn how to operate the equipment even after incidents that should have made her take the time to learn
- In many of her 'firsts' she was little more than an observer, with her mechanic or others flying the plane while she rode along
- She had a super wealthy husband who owned media companies, and he would greatly amplify her supposed achievements. This, more than any other fact about her, is why she is so well remembered.
