Flying solo proved challenging as Earhart fought fatigue, mechanical problems, and bad weather. She took off from Newfoundland, Canada, intending to land in Paris as Lindbergh had, but conditions compelled her to land in a pasture in Londonderry (Derry), Northern Ireland. The journey of 15 hours and 2,026 miles made her a hero in both Europe and America.
