Signed first edition, with dustjacket and vinyl recording of Earhart’s post-flight broadcast.
Signed on front free endpaper (“Amelia Earhart”). In what would be the final work of hers published in her lifetime, Earhart discusses her initial path to aviation, tells of the lives of other female pilots (including Ruth Rowland Nichols and Elinor Smith) and encourages young girls to follow careers in aviation. Photographic illustrations include views from the sky, a diagram of good parachuting technique and a fully-labelled image of a cockpit. The dustjacket, present here, reads: “American girls are proud of other American girls who have accomplished great things. Especially if the accomplishments are in fields picturesque and dangerous.”
The book includes a vinyl recording of Earhart’s international broadcast from London on 22 May 1932 following her non-stop solo transatlantic flight.
