Publisher's Synopsis
Amelia Earhart's autobiographical book The Fun of It: Random Records of My Own Flying and of Women in Aviation covers Earhart's life through May 20-21, 1932, when Miss Earhart, alone in a Lockheed Vega monoplane with a single Wasp engine, negotiated 2,026 miles through storm and fog from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to a cow pasture on the outskirts of Londonderry, Ireland. The flight set a transatlantic record of 14 hours, 56 minutes ... and stirred such public adulation that she confided, 'I'll be glad when the zoo part is over.' (ANB)
