Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital.
Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas on July 24, 1897. Amelia saw her first plane at a state fair when she was 10 years old. During World War I, Amelia became a nurse's aid in Toronto, Canada, to tend to wounded soldiers. On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave Amelia her first ride in an airplane.
Amelia Earhart is probably the most famous female pilot in aviation history, an accolade due both to her aviation career and to her mysterious disappearance. On May 20-21, 1932, Earhart became the first woman, and the second person after Charles Lindbergh, to fly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Flying a red Lockheed Vega 5B, she left Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Canada, and landed about 15 hours later near Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
