A most amazing woman was born in the early years of the 19th century. Amelia Earhart who would go on to excel in the fledgling field of Aviation. It was a field dominated by men but she had the grit and determination to compete with the best of them and win again and again. Her determination to set records in that field won her acclaim and attracted the man who was to be her future husband. As a pair they were made for each other. She set the records and he as a Publisher saw to it that they would be featured by the World's pressmen. After setting a record and receiving the publicity it garnered she toured the United States giving lectures on it and the role that the country should be playing in advancing aviation. As the years progressed from the late l920's into the latter l930's the aviation records she sought became more and more difficult and dangerous to achieve. It all culminated in the ill-fated "round the world" flight that ended her life and that of her navigator. Her legacy will live on in the annals of aviation as long as individuals remain interested in it and the intrepid individuals who risked their lives to promote it. This book uniquely dedicated to the best of them.
