EARHART, Amelia. 20 HRS. 40 MIN. OUR FLIGHT IN THE FRIENDSHIP. THE
AMERICAN GIRL, FIRST ACROSS THE ATLANTIC BY AIR, TELLS HER STORY. New
York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1928. First Edition. Original maroon cloth
with gilt lettering. Illustrated with numerous photographs. This copy is
SIGNED by the famous aviator on the blank recto of the frontispiece.
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. Owner name in ink of verso of front endpaper; some foxing to
first few pages; split to hinge before the signed page. Gilt a little
dull on the spine, some rubbing to the cover with slight loss of color
at a couple of spots and along the fore-edge. Still Very Good, lacking
the dustwrapper. (#017225) $2,000.00
