[quote=The Telegraph]Amelia Earhart, the aviation pioneer who went missing over the Pacific, has been remembered with a Google Doodle.

Born on July 24, 1897, she would have been 115 years old today, but fascination with her life and disappearance is as great as ever.

Google’s tribute features a stylised drawing of Ms Earheart alongside a Google-branded plane.

She and the aircraft in which she was attempting to circumnavigate the globe, the Electra, disappeared in July 1937 near Howland Island, an uninhabited coral island just north of the equator in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

A $2.2m expedition this month to find the wreckage is currently on its way back to Hawaii, having apparently failed to find proof of Ms Earhart’s fate via a sonar and video survey, continuing the 75-year mystery.

By the time of her ill-fated final voyage, Amelia Earhart was already a celebrity, having in 1932 become the first woman to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic.

She was also noted for her political activism, which included membership of the National Woman’s Party and campaigning for equal rights legislation.[/quote]
