Who was the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean?

Retry Correct Incorrect Although The New Yorker reported that Amelia Earhart was the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, the fact that she was a passenger at the time didn’t fit her courage and sense of adventure at all. So four years later, she would become the first woman and only the second person to cross the Atlantic in a plane solo. And in 1935, she was the first person in the world to do the same with the Pacific Ocean.
