The first aviator woman to ever fly across the Atlantic Ocean, noted aviatrix Amelia Earhart was a true pioneer. She vanished mysteriously over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while attempting a flight around the world and was never found.

For school plays featuring important figures in fairly recent american history or in women's history, Amelia Earhart is a great choice. Complete with a faux-leather aviator helmet, goggles, and a long white scarf, the Amelia Earhart costume kit is a quick and inexpensive option. Pair it up with your own bomber jacket for an authentic look.

Or, for a more humorous touch, alter a carton of milk with a photo of the aviatrix and a large "Missing" caption and carry it as an accessory with the rest of your ensemble!
