I am fascinated by Amelia Earhart, who is probably the most famous female pilot of all time. I have read many books about her, trying to learn more about her life and her eventual fate. In 1937, she attempted to fly around the world. Sadly, she disappeared in the Pacific Ocean.
I think this book about Amelia is fabulous. The author carefully researched Amelia’s life and separated the facts from the myths. She presented the facts in a very interesting fashion, alternating the pilot’s life story, from birth to death, with details of her last flight. The book is filled with wonderful photographs, maps, and hand-written documents.
If you’re interesting in learning about this bold woman who inspired other women to go after their dreams, you really should read Amelia Lost.
