The Fun of It
“Miss Earhart knows a great deal about [aviation], especially as arts and business and her pages are full of experiences, the information, the little things and the big things the public likes to know about.”
New York Times
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)
