First edition stating 'This is a copy of the first edition' followed by a facsimile of Putnam's signature on the rear of the title page. Earhart writes about her experiences as a passenger in the Friendship, which made her the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by air in 1928 (she later accomplished the feat in a solo flight). She combines actual log entries made during the flight with recollections of her childhood and how she first became interested in aviation. This is the pioneering aviator's first book - written and published as part of a deal that she would be the first to undertake the flight but would write an account for Putnam's on completion. She went on to marry George Putnam.
