Today's Google Doodle: Amelia Earhart

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 115th birthday of this female aviator.

Amelia Mary Earhart was a noted American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first woman to receive the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

In honor of the iconic pilot's birthday, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery is headed to Hawaii in hopes of discovering the wreckage from the plane that crashed on Amelia Earhart's final flight. The group believes that 75 years ago, this month, she crashed her navigator plane into a reef off an island in the Pacific Ocean. The group has already collected a large amount of video and sonar footage of the area and will use it before and after their voyage this week. They're already planning another trip for next year to search the land where Earhart is believed to have survived after he plane went down.

Amy Adams recently played the role of Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum 2.
