Lovell, is a thoroughly researched and compelling biography of one of aviation's most celebrated pioneers. Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) became an international celebrity through her extraordinary achievements in flight, including becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Her daring exploits, independent spirit and determination to challenge the conventions of her time made her an enduring symbol of courage and adventure. Rather than concentrating solely on the mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937, Lovell presents a comprehensive account of Earhart's remarkable life, from her unconventional childhood in Kansas to her rise as one of the most recognisable figures of aviation's golden age.\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     Drawing upon original correspondence, personal documents, contemporary newspaper reports, flight logbooks, family interviews and previously classified United States Navy records, Lovell examines both Earhart's professional achievements and her complicated private life. Particular attention is devoted to her relationship with publisher and publicist George Palmer Putnam, whose ambition and promotional abilities played a significant role in establishing her international reputation. The narrative explores Earhart's pioneering flights, her friendships and associations with influential figures of the period, and the circumstances surrounding her ambitious final attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Lovell provides a richly detailed portrait of a determined and sometimes contradictory woman whose extraordinary accomplishments captured the imagination of millions.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    First published by Hutchinson in London in 1989, The Sound of Wings remains an important contribution to the literature of early aviation and the life of Amelia Earhart. Combining meticulous historical research with an engaging narrative, it offers valuable insights into the personalities, ambitions and technological challenges that characterised the pioneering years of long-distance flight. The volume includes illustrated endpaper maps tracing Earhart's final around-the-world route and is presented in its original unclipped pictorial dustjacket, featuring a striking portrait of Earhart wearing her flying helmet and goggles. An appealing addition to any collection devoted to aviation history, pioneering women, exploration or twentieth-century biography.\"\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n         \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n           \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n             \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n              Light wear to dustjacket as shown.
