had she not disappeared in 1937, 21 March 2002
Author: sole reviewer

This film covers the life of the famous flier. No mention of her dog CHARLIE. Some have speculated had she lived she would have been influential in WW2. Influential in flight schools and training women and male pilots also possibly organizing womens coastal patrols to protect from enemy subs and ships. Alas history threw her a curve ball. Some also have specualted her marriage to GP PUTNAM would not have lasted. yet this is speculation. She lived her life in the limelight and disappeared at the zenith of her popularity.
