Did Amelia Earhart have a special training or education?

She had advanced training as a pilot, though some people still claim she was not a good pilot. They are wrong.

She admitted to being an average navigator though. That is why she had a highly skilled navigator with her when she disappeared.

Regardless of opinion, she had 16 world records in aviation before she turned 40 in 1937. That year she began the training for her world flight in which she disappeared. One instructor, Mark Walker told her aircraft was ill-equipped for the flight.

Later during the flight, severe modifications to her radio in Miami, reduced her transmission range from 2,000 miles to 200, and removed the Pan Am frequency, preventing any communication with most ships and the Pan Am world wide network.

The reason Amelia Earhart disappeared was her radio.
