520 $a"Amelia Earhart was the first woman to solo across the Atlantic; she broke transcontinental speed records, was the first to solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City and from Honolulu to the Mainland, and pioneered the airline routes. She lost her last gamble trying to fly around the world at the Equator in a two-engine plane without the navigational aids that became available only a few years later. Winged Legend, however, is more than the story of America's no. 1 pioneer woman flier. It is a penetrating study of a young woman, born on the Kansas frontier, with a childhood shadowed by domestic tragedy, who willed herself to greatness. Hers was an extraordinary career even before she took up flying professionally -- nursing the World War I wounded in Canada, teaching school, working in a Boston settlement house, and meanwhile teaching herself to fly in the rickety, put-put aircraft of the twenties"--$cProvided by publisher.
