Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Anna Fields reads this workmanlike account of famed aviator Earhart with clarity and little drama. Earhart had drive, daring, and a conviction that women could equal men at any task. She lectured often on that theme between her record-breaking flights across oceans and continents from 1927 to 1937. Butler praises her uncritically and ignores others' speculations that Earhart was unfaithful to her husband but only with men; she wasn't sick and exhausted on flights; and her disappearance in 1937 was the result of merely running out of gas while lost over the Pacific. Butler's title suggests but cannot equal West with the Night, an aviation classic (in several audio versions, e.g., LJ 11/1/92). Yet, overall, this tribute to a courageous woman is a welcome addition. Recommended for popular biography collections.?Gordon Blackwell, Eastchester, NY

Butler's biography...is certainly the single best book that we now have on Earhart's life. It tells the story remarkably well. Earhart comes int sharper, more realistic focus through Butler's lens. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
