What year did Amelia Earhart fly across the atlantic?

Amelia Earhart went to fly around the world in the year of 1937. She was then never found or seen again. People think that maybe the japanesse had found and captured Amelia and Fred Noonan. I believe that that answer is true. Because she was lost around where the japanesse was told to have captured them and then she had lost signal and had not been seen or heard since. Fred noonan has not been seen or heard from since they lost signal before they went missing.
