Listen "Until There Was No Sky Left"
Episode Synopsis
Amelia Earhart wasn’t just a pilot. She was a force of nature wrapped in leather and sky. In this episode of *Dave Does History*, we trace the arc of her remarkable life—from her bold, tomboy beginnings in Kansas to the cockpit of the Lockheed Electra that carried her into legend. She didn’t break barriers gently. She tore through them at altitude, shattering expectations for what women could do in a world that told them to stay grounded.
We’ll explore her record-setting flights, her rise to international fame, her tireless work to elevate women in aviation, and, of course, the mystery that still haunts us—her disappearance over the Pacific in 1937. Was it crash and sink? Capture? Or did she land on Nikumaroro, waiting for a rescue that never came?
Join me as we remember not just the mystery, but the mission of Amelia Earhart. She flew until there was no sky left.
