The aviation icon Amelia Earhart became the second person and first women to fly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic in 1932. This combination of memoir and essay was published soon after her triumphant return, with an eye to promoting the achievements of female pilots (Earhart's concern) and making a great deal of money (the concern of her new husband, the publisher George Palmer Putnam). The book is dedicated to the Ninety-Nines, an organization of female pilots still going strong today, and includes a recording of excerpts from a speech she made in London after her successful transatlantic flight. Copies with the recording are rare.
