Here’s a question I just learned the answer to–who was the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic? I didn’t know the answer, do you?

Was Amelia Earhart the first woman and also the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic? That is my guess. Final answer.
Oddly enough most people answer Amelia to the question “Who was the first woman to fly around the world solo”. The correct answer is Jeri Mock. Here amazing story was told in the book “Three-Eight Charlie”. Dan Pimentel is hoping to make her story into a movie. Check it out:
