- A carefully executed publicity campaign turned a pretty average pilot into an aviation legend.

Amelia Earhart is often thought of as the first or greatest female pilot of her time. But the real reason she is seen as an aviation legend comes from a carefully executed publicity campaign starting with her transatlantic passenger flight in 1928, which launched her out of obscurity and into celebrity status. From there, she pursued an ambitious career of record-breaking and stunts in order to stay in the headlines and fund her aviation career.

I thought her disappearance made her famous.
It did contribute a bit to how famous she was but not during her lifetime
Me too.
its the only reason anyone remembers her now
Matt Majcan I didn’t even know she beat any records. I knew about the Atlantic thing, but the only thing that really stuck out to me over the years was her disappearance.
Matt Majcan That isn’t true. She is famous all around the world for being the first female aviator to cross the atlantic. Most people on the other side of the pond don’t even know she disappeared.
History is written not by winners, but by good PR teams.
Video Graham at least after the 1900
winners win because they have good PR teams. the PR teams are the writers
Video Graham So it seems
gustavo pena why after 1900? Augustus had a pretty good pr team
Exactly. Considering the first non stop flight to cross the Atlantic was by a British team in 1919. The yanks cant have that on the record so they change the record books to "Solo" and hide the rest from history.
_Average pilot into an aviation legend_
*Gives hope to averagely skilled people everywhere.*
Doesn't mean you can't improve yourself everyday.
Some top people used to 'fake it til they make' until they become very skilled artists, pilots etc.
Only if you have good pr manager
"Some day, you too might be scouted by some rich dude and turned into a public icon."
Captain Beefheart it celebrates life, don’t be so dumb
We do not and have never lived in a meritocracy. Sorry you're just getting the memo.
Her disappearance helped catapult her fame into the stratosphere. If she hadn't disappeared she would still have been famous, but she wouldn't have obtained the mystique the disappearance generated.
Catapults are inferior compared to the superior siege engines though...
That's a misconception based on the fact that everyone now a days who learns about her or hears about her in elementary school hears about her disappearance, because that was the end of her story. If she hadn't become as famous as she did, her disappearance wouldn't have even been shocking in the first place.
I respectfully disagree. The fact that she was famous is the only reason her disappearance received attention. Even in this video he states that others had disappeared at that time, before and after as well yet we know nothing about them.
Like Kevin Hart for example. Kevin Hart obviously is not the first person to get in a car accident but because he's famous people around the world know about. In addition to that most people aren't aware that his friend was with him, why? Because he's not famous so he barely gets coverage.
“reluctantly married” *changes subject*
wait what? could you elaborate?
He proposed 6 times to her and then told her that she doesn't have to be faithful.
So it was basically just a celebrity PR stunt marriage and they both knew it.
The History Chicks did a podcast that talks more about her marriage (along with her entire life) if you’re interested in that!
Guys, putnum touched me.... thought id come forward after all these years. I know, im a brave young man
Shai Guyz isn't it obvious!
I wish this piece had touched on her disappearance just a little bit, it's something I don't know much about but I'm pretty fascinated by. Wikipedia it is.
If i remember correctly she has/had been found a while ago.
www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/2017/07/forensic-dogs-amelia-earhart-spot-where-died&ved=2ahUKEwjR2_DWz83YAhVO4WMKHT4cBXUQFjABegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw0R4sbDIjgaBm17Zpm55dd5&cf=1
an interesting article to be sure, but hardly conclusive. Besides, I'm less interested in the conspiracies surrounding her disappearance and more the general facts of the event. Like I said, I only wanted a small piece at the end of the video, not a thorough report on what might have happened.
Really was an interesting read though, thanks for the link :)
The bottom line is that she disappeared because she didn't have the patience to learn how to use her navigation and communications equipment properly.
Buzzfeed Unsolved made a video regarding her disappearance. All the facts and timelines have been laid out neatly. You can check it out :)
Watch the buzzfeed unsolved video on it
There’s an excellent film script in here somewhere
Matthew Brooks I think they already made one
Tilda Swinton would kill the roll as Earhart
playstationer Yeah, but they made it into a love story when that clearly wasn't the case :(
Matthew Brooks I'd find it but I think it's as lost to me as Amelia
There was already a biopic of her which she was portrayed by Hilary Swanks. Reviews said it was awful though
Hmm, this makes a lot more sense actually.
Ceruleanturkeyz Hi , can you give me your opinon about my channel
Why? Because it fits the narrative that sexism always stands in the way of women achieving great things?
+ ingaman No, because it shows that skill isn't the only thing needed. It's how one sells oneself that matters more.She sold herself to the public in a way that made them like her whereas her counterparts didn't even though they are better.
+Rave Yoda I want to start by saying I really like your username. I agree with you in that I think that's what's going on here. Skill and talent aren't valuable commodities in a capitalist society.
+Laurel You're right, I should've rephrased what I was saying to be 'less valuable' or something along those lines. What I mean to say is that talent doesn't always translate into popular success -it's usually constructed by those who control capital. And of course sexism was an issue in those days, but the fact that there was so much media attention around her shows that there was an public adoption of 1st wave feminism. Example: I know immediately who Amelia Earhart is, but I'd have to google Charles Lindbergh to know what he accomplished.
I absolutely need a doc on barnstorming now. Make it happen, Vox.
m Hi , can you give me your opinon about my channel
Astrolabe yeah, it's crap. Stop spamming people
m Great idea! I hope they parallel it with those crazy, tower-climbing Russian kids
spinakker reply
m - hehehehehe laughing in hell
The 1920s, what a brave time to live: "Hey, let's manually start this powerful propeller without any safety precautions or procedures". I'm surprised I didn't see a single person get their head chopped off.
That was actually the way to do it back then, when you need to handprop the propeller to get it going. And while it was certainly dangerous, if you are careful it wasn't all that much dangerous. It is still being done today albeit less since there's battery to start it now.
I've started a Fokker DR.7, and Thomas Morse Scout, along with a 3/4th scale DR.1 and nieuport 11 manually(at kingsbury)...It definitely is an uncomfortable unnerving feeling
Well, people did die
They edit out all the people who get their heads chopped off.
People still hand-start propellers all the time, its standard practice if your electric starter dies
I've always admired Earhart, but I never considered that her enduring legacy was by a mogul's design. That doesn't lessen my respect for her at all--women have always had to go to extraordinarily lengths to pursue their dreams in a world that forbids them from exercising their independence--but, rather, it increases my respect for her forgotten contemporaries, whom I know almost nothing about.
Lol Earhart
my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate
She didn't disappear, she's in the Delta Quadrant.
No she was killed by the Japanese
Umm she is dead by now if she wasn't dead before
Too bad they choose to stay, they missed quite the adventure.
I got the Voyager joke. Good one!
I hoped so badly someone else commented on that episode. It's 1 of my favorites of the series.
She's living on the island from lost with the missing Malaysian flights.
Also 2pac and Michael Jackson are there too
Ethan Mack I'd watch that
Ethan Mack and madellin mcann
And Elvis too, don't forget about Elvis
Don't forget Biggie!
Amelia was actually alive the day after she died because of timezones.
Charlie Clumsy That's not how it works.
My cause of death will be friendzones
Technically no, she crashed in the Southwest Pacific around midday their time, just before the international date line. So most of the world's time was behind the time zone she was in. No timezone reach the next day when she crashed.
@@user-qp9en3ye3l it's a joke
Crazy to think that amelia did the solo flight in the 1930’s when they started propellers with bare hands and it was an incredible moment in history, and now we fly across the oceans daily carrying a bunch of people with wifi and mini tv’s... technology is really amazing along with the people behind them
Yay Bessie Coleman at 4:19!! I taught my 6th graders about Bessie Coleman as well as Amelia and we compared the obstacles they faced, work they were able to do, and they way they were advertised in the media in comparison to men as well as to each other. It was a great lesson and I'm glad Bessie got the recognition she deserves! Thank you!
Her dad was Lavar Ball
Sí
Meme Lord where's your memes
Meme Lord AYO!!!
Lol
Meme Lord i
i thought she got famous because she disappeared.....?
now i'm questioning everything haha
Lexy Rose next time pay attention in school
A Stickman lmao school doesn't teach you everything about every subject relax
Creator Studios thank you!
Lexy Rose lol
It was her determination that really earned her the title...which she deserves. She wasn't the fastest or maybe even the best but she tried even harder and never gave up!
I was born on the twentyfourth of july 2001, exactly 104 years after Amelia Earhart, and weirdly enough, I have always wanted to be a pilot :)
I work at a museum in Arkansas and we have an entire wall dedicated to our own local "wing walker", Buddy Rhodes! He was an amazing aerial acrobat and I wish I could've had the chance to meet him, like my boss did.
So...basically she was a hype job
America needs heroes and inspirational figures. Especially back then during the depression americans needed a heroic uplifting story and Amelia was it.
Vox makes such amazing short documentaries I swear I'm in love with each and every one of them.
*History always has its secrets, just like people*
Wow. I never thought I'd "like" a Vox video. Good Job
Finding the Red Lockheed 5B Vega was the very first thing I had to do upon arrival in the Air and Space museum. I've always been inspired by her courage. Thank you Amelia, for defying the boundaries and shattering all concepts of what was expected of women!
it's not just the publicity or Putnam things. it was her COURAGE. she was clearly the most courageous one among her peer.
Thalitadivya 92 Agree. Her skill might not that exceptional compared to other great aviation pioneers like Elinor Smith or Ruth Nicols, but she was the most courageous one.
Anindita Kusuma Listya Couldn’t have said it better myself
Who else is on a Vox streaming spree?🤚So many good videos
Whenever Vox says "famous across the world", I guess they mean "famous across the US and Europe"
I'm guessing I'm the minority then? Being Australian and aware of who she is.
Not even Europe
Dimitrije Vasiljević *eastern europe. Maybe only people from western countries know her because I do for sure
Akhil Djokovic vox arent to blame for your ignorance
Across the US and Europe is technically "across the world" isn't it?
Reminds of a paiful lesson I received by accident on my first job from a terrible coworker. It matters how you advertise your accomplishments, not just the quality of your accomplishments. My coworker was incompetent but she knew how to sell her accomplishments so she did better in her end of year review. She bragged about it once and that is how I learned my lesson.
I love your work , quality !!
Please do more history I love it!
You don't think her forever vanishing into thin air during her attempt to be the first person ever to fly around the entire world aided into her legendary celebrity status, especially when we're still looking for her? For that to happen to one of the most famous people in the whole world during her time & frankly anytime really is just something that's so sad & unheard of & something that just doesn't happen very often at all.
She also died early and under mysterious circumstances. That's always good for a story.
My god your editors are extremely talented!
I keep finding that all of my female heros as a child were only such because of the decision of powerful men. (Think Rosa Parks as another example.) I don't know how I feel about this
Azure Trio what about Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Emmy Noether, etc?
Or Sabiha Gokcen as an aviator
Azure Trio Nobody ever became somebody without the help of somebody else.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive but feminazis say they need no MAN!
Maybe powerful men aren't all that bad
People who disliked this video were named after Amelia Earhart
The reason she’s so famous is because she mysterious disappeared doing the thing she loved and was famous for. I personally think that was the way she wanted to go out.
Oh my god you guys did incredible research keep up the good work
How did you forget to include Phoebe Omile Fairgrave in this video? She was a contemporary of Amelia, a wing walker, and many other impacts on the future of women in aviation. And she’s my great great aunt. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_Omlie
"Reluctantly married" oh, that's stomach tuning.
I can say this...Im directly related to Amelia, on the woman's side of my ancestry, my family had no idea of this, until i spent alot of money to seek my ancestorial lineage, some could care less, I on the other hand, are proud of her, to have an adventurious heart and pursue her dreams, I care alot about my cousin, may you live on forever,
Denis, i have a very old vintage pic of Amelia sitting next to Admiral Byrd in I think it was NY.
my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate
This was really interesting, good video vox
We are doing a "radio" broadcast at my school about Amelia Earhart
Bring back #VOXBorders
So, she repeatedly broke records, became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic (as a pilot and earlier as a passenger), and is credited with inspiring a generation to go into aviation...yet this video repeatedly refers to her as “average”.
Fact is she was a legend, just not an amazing pilot like how she's usually credited. But not a terrible pilot either.
They said average among her peers. Not average compared to the general population.
I thought the video would talk about the other overshadowed pilots mentioned in the beginning... Hopefully Vox does a follow up on that one. 🙌🏻
These are the best kind of vox videos.
Who was the second person on the moon!
Y2Kvids
I knew this once, but right now have only a buzz in my head.
Y2Kvids buzz aldrin lol
Buzz Aldrin :D
Buzz Aldridge. Then Pete Conrad, the AL bean then al Shepard.. Jack Schmidt was the last person to be first set first set foot on the moon though his commander who recently passed away, was the last man on the moon. But hopefully that will change in a few years..
So... She is the most famous... Because she was the most ambitious and daring..... But that really isn't what made her famous.. It was all of that.. She was a well known name that spectacularly vanished... That.... Is what made her famous.. Really vox. I know more about aviation then you....
Kinda glossed over Bessie Coleman. A very important person herself
Excellent video.
Good to see Pancho Barnes briefly in one of the early images; now there was a real flyer!
It was Rittenhouse.
Jericho & Thunder The 2 Gray Cats haha that joke is timeless
brittany rietz - Hahahaha! So glad someone recognized the reference. 😄
brittany rietz 😂😂😂😂
xD
Felt like everyone in the USA In the 20’s/30’s were very daring & courageous
Off topic, but this video is really great to look at, even for Vox this one is A+ gorgeous work.
someone needs to make a movie about this
I only found out about her in night at the museum 2 lol
Zxfxr
lol same here
Same
Dumbasses
Whaaat? Do they not teach about Amelia Earhart in schools?
TacoMasters Association
I was taught about her in school
That was a very fun video to watch.
Great video
Aly pixar Agreed :)
I live in Bentonville, AR home of a small Company called Walmart but also the home town of one Louise Thaden. Her name here is decently known but only secondarily at the moment to a controversy concerning her childhood home which nearly was torn down as the historic downtown of Bentonville has been undergoing a renewal with the addition of the nearby Crystal Bridges American Art Museum one of the largest in the Country.
Thankfully in response to protests the home was saved and is being relocated to a new school being built and also named after her, of which my Neice is a student. Also of note our towns Airfield was named the Louise M Thaden Airfield back in 1951.
Just thought I’d add a local perspective to trying to remember and respect out history and how nearly we just tore some of it down.
Best channel everrr
👂❤️
Wow, fascinating
Do something on the Double Eagle 1 and 2
Very inspiring , second only to logan paul.
Tranquil , he would find a way to vlog about it
Tranquil CLEVER!
Why tf did she have to marry him?
Micah Williams they'll both get more money and publicity.
Because why tf not?
, fav TH-camr and I have so much respect for you
We are all waiting on you guys to finish the video.
Because she is a news anchor in Denver?
it seems bit ridiculous that you say earheart wasnt a very skilled pilot but acknowledged the fact people were regularly dying due to failing the tranatlantic flight before her successful attempt. It just seems a bit disingenuous. There must be more to this story.
28MadMatt28 she didn’t fly the plane her first trip
my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate
This ALWAYS bothered me! I'm very pleased to see Vox pointing this out
Does anyone know where the music at the end is from?
Huh, the more you know.
Women in flight are cool.
Nice video Vox! Knew about Amelia Earhart obviously because of her disappearance. Had no idea about the other women that were just as great if not better! Keep it up :)
Fascinating
Maybe when she started flying alone, her husband realized she could actually make a career without his help, so he made sure the plane she last flew breaks down. After all she was just an investment that turned into liability.
All Time Great God - _HOLY SHEET_
*CONSPIRACY THEORY*
That idea is messed up but it seems to be true..
Melanie's Little Angel The Archer Cry Baby wait... How does this seem to be true there is no evidence at all to indicate it
MrExplodeable - I don't know, to me it appears to be.
There isn't much to that case but why did the plane fail in the first place?
Well we all know that there was poor communication and there was not enough fuel.
This theory is not strong enough.
But the gender inequality in the 30's is there.
This is what I have:
The publisher George Palmer Putnam proposed to Amelia Earhart six times before she agreed to marry him. First, she served him a letter detailing “some things which should be writ before we are married.” She would not be faithful: *“I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any midaevil code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly,”* Earhart wrote. She would not quit flying: “Please let us not interfere with the others’ work or play.” And she would not commit to forever: “I must exact a cruel promise and that is you will let me go in a year if we find no happiness together.” They married on Feb. 7, 1931.
So, there's that.
How's she turning into a liability exactly when her name is growing even more? He's the one who orchestrated her fame. Earhart's name growing is more of his investment increasing don't you agree instead of it turning into a burden?
The earth "seems" to be flat but it doesn't mean it's logical. Get your shitty theories outta here.
So she was given an opportunity at success and she ceased it? Vox normally produces good stuff but this video’s premise is awfully click-baity. Fame happens to people all the time, and doesn’t happen to people, all the time. It’s never fair.
There are incredibly talented musicians that could run circles around the Beetles or the Eagles (etc) but just because those bands are famous surely doesn’t diminish their skill, right?
Fame and celebrity is a business first and foremost, which is kind of old news. Still an interesting video but I wish the content was a bit more well rounded. Cheers
Nathan Billington I and many others learned from this video. It may be old hat to you, but many can learn from it.
Nathan Billington so its her fault now she disapeard ?
I didnt kniw what people were all able to be accussed of even now many years after their tragic death (oops sorry) dessapearance
Nathan Billington
Since you mentioned The Beatless
Uuu h hm one member of the band is missing
I think it's joh lennon , let's talk bad about him now, shall we ? I mean after all the man is gone
Why not ?
As usual great quality video, best information channel on TH-cam
Her Disappearance definitely made her even more memorable, ppl love conspiracies and a mystery
*NO I DONT KNOW WHO SHE IS BRETHREN*
i kinda admire her more after this
Egan Wibowo How?
jedikye he's being sarcastic or ironic ? Maybe
Don't take him seriously
Did He reply ?
They all look so classy!
EVeryone's talking qbout Amelia Earhart but I'm over here still amazed at the barnstorming footage they showed
If you're early, no one cares
I care, someone needs to care
Ummmm no, she's famous for going missing. If you surveyed every person in the world that knows her name, a large majority would know her because of the mystery that surrounds her.
grancrackers 428 While that majority does exist, I and many others don't belong to that majority. I just knew from childhood that she was an aviator because in elementary her name was mentioned for being an aviator.
WE ALL LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️ This was beautiful.
How exactly did she disappear and what exactly happened to her next?
42 comments, 22 view. Great!
Its time to respek wahman (:
Andrew Enriquez No, you are not funny
Andrew Enriquez that was 2017, now it's time to respect men.
It's time to Stay MGTOW
Jba 99 Giving birth.
Are you assuming her gender?!!!, Ughh?!!!
It all makes sense. Thank you.
Darn those photos in the 1900s got some pretty good quality.
Who is Amelia Earhart?
trckojr She's the most famous American female flyer.
the chick that disappeared with another woman. its pretty obvious that she was a lesbian and the media refuse to broach this. she could be a good lgbt heroine.
Lechiffresix six She was not lesbian she married a guy stupid stop claiming everything LGBT(no hate towards LGBT people though)
Lechiffresix six She disappeared with a guy. Her co-pilot was a guy. And no, I'm not implying any romance either. Stop spreading misinformation.
"Boyish good looks" looooool ok vox
Damien Wayne 😂 probably one of the ugliest people ive ever seen in my life
Kansas Proud 🤙
It's a similar situation with Rosa Parks. She wasn't the first to do what she did but the community was waiting for somebody to push as the face of that movement.
She sounds like ellen
Harris Ashraf she really does!
Old school kardashian
except she actually did a few things
Reminds me of Alcock and Brown who flew across the Atlantic in 1919, eight years before Lindberg, but with less publicity.
the reason why Lindberg was time magazine's first man of the year is because they forgot to report on it so just said they were saving it for a special piece on man of the year
