Just interested in learning about some of the lesser discussed misconceptions about historical figures. Everyone knows about Thomas Edison, but I'm more interested in hearing about people who were equally as famous but those whose "fame-stealing" isn't' as widely known.

Amelia Earhart was not the first person to fly solo over the Atlantic.

Does anyone say she was? I thought her fame was for being the first woman to do so.

I grew up with the impression she was the first person. Could just be me.
