    • Trivia
      The movie shows Amelia Earhart finishing third in the first Santa Monica-to-Cleveland Women's Air Derby in 1929, but doesn't explain why. Earhart and her friend Ruth Nichols were tied for first at the last stop before the final leg. Nichols took off right before Earhart, but her plane clipped a tractor on the runway and flipped over. Instead of taking off, Earhart ran to Nichols's plane to drag her to safety. After Earhart was sure that Nichols was not seriously hurt, she took off for Cleveland and finished third. Women in the Wind (1939) is based on the same air race and features a plot loosely inspired by the incident.
    • Goofs
      I provided the uniform information to the wardrobe department for this movie. Prior to WW II the "dungaree" uniform of light blue chambray shirt and denim pants was only worn in engine rooms and gun turrets. All other crewmen would be in the proper seasonal white or blue uniforms. The officers khaki uniform for non-aviation officers was not authorized until 1941. So the Coast Guard uniforms in this movie are correct for 1937.

      George Putnam: Come back to me.

      Amelia Earhart: Always.

    about a legend
    the basic virtue - its freshness. it is a film made with passion and special for the right option for the lead roles. it is a homage. and a realistic portrait of a legendary woman. it is the simple and honest story behind the titles of newspapers. and this did it a great film. Hillary Swank shines as Amelia. and she gives not exactly a beautiful performance but the inspired way for discover her character out of the status of impressive statue. the ambition, the sacrifices, the need to be herself. this is all. and more. because "Amelia" is little more than a biopic. it is the perfect answer to the expectations about yourself who grows up from the early years for each from us.
