Good Book

This book is a very good as an advertisement for women to become aviators, but not good as a biography of Amelia Earhart. Though, it has some biographical information that is not the books purpose so a lot of the book is about aviation and women aviators in general. This book is great to see how aviation and women were viewed in the 1920s and 1930s however. It also has a great scene showing the everyday persons reaction to the end of World War II from Earhart's first hand experience.
