Here is Amelia Earhart's own record of her famous flight over the Atlantic. To the logbook of her voyage she has added some autobiographical material including some discussion of the beginning of her career in aviation. She relates the story of how she came to be connected with the flight of the Friendship and what she wanted to accomplish by it. Earhart ends her book with a discussion of women, aviation, its history, its future and its problems contemporary to the time in which she wrote. In addition to her top-notch writing, Earhart has included several facsimiles of the original pages of her flight log and a great many photographs.
