20 HRS. 40 MIN. Our Flight in the FRIENDSHIP: The American Girl, First Across the Atlantic by Air, Tells Her Story

Pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart engages listeners anew in this fresh audiobook production of her memoir, originally published in 1928. Narrator Pamela Almand, herself a professional pilot who was inspired by Earhart, channels the author's playful humor, conversational style, and down-to-earth personality. Through Almand's attuned performance, listeners experience the gamut of Earhart's adventures--from acquiring her first plane to the heady experiences of celebrity. The memoir also serves as more than an account of her journey as the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane. Embodying Earhart's spirit, Almand delivers her insightful commentary on the then-emerging aviation industry, her role in it, and the future potential for commercial passengers and aspiring female pilots. Karen Commins contributes a straightforward performance of Marion Perkins's foreword, rounding out this engaging audiobook. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
