The story of Amelia Earhart, the tall, blue eyed American girl who became the most famous woman flyer of her day. She was charming, utterly fearless and loved flying for its own sake, making two perilous solo flights across the Atlantic and the Pacific. Just before World War II, on the final leg of her round-the-world flight, she disappeared in the Pacific under mysterious circumstances which have never yet been adequately explained. With black and white and colour photographs and prints.
