I think Jane Mendelsohn was also one of the writers for the show we love so much - am I right? :)
As for Amelia - she was somewhere on the edge of my knowledge - well, quite general, a famous female pilot, strange disappeared right in the blue sky, etc. - but I aso could feel like - oh, here is a power, a spirit, a mystery. I can learn more now:)
and Boris Pasternak, who's poem I quoted - "Над спящим миром летчик..." could really write that as a tribute to her life, as well as it was done for the lifestyle of famous Russian pilots of early ХХ-s

In my life there was another Pilot and writer of similar fate - Saint-Ex, author of "Litte Prince" and - i really love it - "The Planet of Mankind".

Pilots are relly inspiring figures.
