| | Amelia Earhart |
 | | The world's most famous female aviator disappeared in 1937, as she attempted to become the first woman to fly around the world. |
 | | On May 21, 1932, five years to the day after Lindbergh's flight, she took off in a Lockheed Vega, in an attempt to become the second person after Lindbergh (and first woman) to fly solo across the Atlantic. |
 | | From her childhood and her family's great financial hardships, to her successes as a social worker and aviation entrepreneur, to the unique relationship with her husband, the notorious publishing magnate George Palmer Putnam, readers experience Amelia in all her permutations: as fashion plate, as lecturer, as educator, and, of course, as flier. |
