The JS Atlantic was inspired by the first woman to complete a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Earhart. Earhart is well known for her countless aviation achievements and records, but more importantly, she stood as a symbol of individuality and ‘living life on your own terms’ in a time when there was immense public pressure and scrutiny to conform to conservative social norms, particularly for women. In addition to aviation, Earhart was an author, columnist, lecturer, college career counselor, WWI nurse, fashion designer, businesswoman, and dedicated activist for equality.
