Amelia Earhart

According to Diane Holmes, Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1932. After accidentally travelling from 1953 to 2007 through the Cardiff Space-Time Rift, Diane speculated that the same happened to Earheart, however Owen Harper stated that this was highly unlikely. (TV: Out of Time)

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, an AI based on the Eighth Doctor, suggested that the Time Lord was, in a sense, responsible for the disappearance of Amelia Hearhart. (PROSE: Seeing I)

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