Oliver's Doodle was titled "Amelia the Great." He had this to say about his artwork: "If I could travel back in time I would go back and see Amelia Earhart. She was the first women to fly the Atlantic Ocean. She vanished in 1937 somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She set the fastest transcontinental flight in 1933."
