About the book

Ameila Earhart was:

A pilot

A record-breaker

An inspiration

Ameila Earhart broke flying records, wrote best-selling books, launched a fashion label and fought for the rights of female pilots everywhere.

Her disappearance, in the midst of her attempt to circumnavigate the globe, is one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries, and today she is remembered as not only the first female pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but for being a bold, brace and adventurous woman who fought tirelessly for what she believed.
