She was the first women to fly over the Atlantic solo. She wanted to be the first to do something. We don’t know if she was a Christian or what her religion was. Hopefully since she knew that she could die we would hope she is a christian knowing this. She hopefully flew this plane for the glory of God and for him. God gave His son for something he loved, us. Amelia gave her life for something that she loved and cared a lot
