20 hrs., 40 min. : our flight in the Friendship : the American girl, first across the Atlantic by air, tells her story
(Book)

Amelia Earhart captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world when she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by airplane. This book, her personal account of the historic flight, sparkles with her high-spirited charm and adventurous determination. Though she would not make the Atlantic crossing alone until 1932, Earhart was already an accomplished aviator when selected in the spring of 1928 to accompany pilot Wilmer Stultz and mechanic Louis "Slim" Gordon in the Friendship. TO the story of the historic flight Earhart adds an autobiographical account of her young adult life and fascination with airplanes, and a serious-minded discussion of the future of flight and the important role of women in aviation.
