Amelia Earhart

Amelia Jane Earhart was a famous 20th century pilot. (PROSE: Chasing the Dawn) According to Diane Holmes, Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1932. After accidentally travelling from 1953 to the 21st century through the Cardiff Space-Time Rift, Diane speculated that the same happened to Earhart, but Owen Harper stated that this was highly unlikely.

The Fifth Doctor had Amelia Earhart's flying jacket in his TARDIS wardrobe. Erimem put it on to keep warm. (AUDIO: No Place Like Home)

DOCTOR referred to "that little encounter with Amelia Earhart" as an incident in the Doctor's history that the Eighth Doctor wouldn't want historians to know about. (PROSE: Seeing I)

The Thirteenth Doctor spoke of an event with Earhart, involving a pencil-thick spider-web stopping a plane. (TV: Arachnids in the UK)

Behind the scenes
The year Diane gives is at variance with the real life year of Earhart's disappearance — 1937 — suggesting yet another difference between the DWU and the real world.
