The Sound of Wings
The Sound of Wings: The Life of Amelia Earhart | Mary S. Lovell
1 post | 2 read
When Amelia Earhart mysteriously disappeared in 1937 during her attempted flight around the world, she was already known as America's most famous female aviator. Her sense of daring and determination, rare for women of her time, brought her insurmountable fame from the day she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane. In this definitive biography, Mary S. Lovell delivers a brilliantly researched account on Earhart's life using the original documents, letters, the logbooks of Earhart and her contemporaries, and personal interviews with members of Amelia's family, friends and rival aviators. The Sound of Wings vividly captures the drama and mystery behind the most influential woman in "The Golden Age of Flight"from her tomboy days at the turn of the century and her early fascinations with flying, to the unique relationship she shared with G.P. Putnam, the flamboyant publisher and public relations agent who became both her husband and her business manager. It is a revealing biography of an uncommonly brave woman, and the man who both aided and took advantage of her dreams.

Pickpick

I bought this book back when I traveled to Washington D.C. on a school field trip a long time ago. It is still one of the best books on Amelia Earhart that I have personally read. It not only covers her life, aviation history, and of course her famous disappearance, but it also dives into the lives of the people that were around her which gives a much wider understanding of who she was.
