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.
Before long Amelia Earhart was looking for new records to break in her own airplane. A few months after publishing 20 Hours 40 Minutes, she flew solo across the United States and back -- the first time a female pilot had made the journey alone.
