EARHART, Amelia 20 HRS. 40 MIN. 0UR FLIGHT IN THE FRIENDSHIP. THE 
AMERICAN GIRL, FIRST ACROSS THE ATLANTIC BY AIR, TELLS HER STORY
G. P. Putnam's Sons New York 1928 First Edition.  Original maroon cloth 
with gilt lettering.  Illustrated with numerous photographs.  This copy 
is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the famous aviator on the recto of the 
frontispiece photograph: "To/Bob Cleveland/Amelia M. Earhart." 
Earhart's account of her transatlantic flight when she became the FIRST 
WOMAN TO TRAVEL BY AIR ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.  Earhart was lost at sea in 
her attempt, shortly before her fortieth birthday in 1937, to become the 
first woman to fly around the world.  After her disappearance the most 
extensive air and sea search in naval history to date took place.  After 
spending $4 million and scouring 250,000 square miles of ocean over a 
two-week period, the United States government reluctantly called off the 
operation.  Books inscribed by this pioneer are much more difficult to 
come by than those that are simply signed.  Earhart also did not usually 
include her middle initial (for Mary) with her signature.  Fine copy 
with bright gilt, lacking the dustwrapper.        $2500.00
