What to expect
Amelia Earhart’s autobiographical book The Fun of It: Random Records of My Own Flying and of Women in Aviation covers Earhart’s life through May 20–21, 1932, “when Miss Earhart, alone in a Lockheed Vega monoplane with a single Wasp engine, negotiated 2,026 miles through storm and fog from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to a cow pasture on the outskirts of Londonderry, Ireland. The flight set a transatlantic record of 14 hours, 56 minutes … and stirred such public adulation that she confided, ‘I’ll be glad when the zoo part is over.’” (ANB)
Critics Review
-
“Miss Earhart knows a great deal about [aviation], especially as arts and business and her pages are full of experiences, the information, the little things and the big things the public likes to know about.”
New York Times
