Amelia Earhart: A Biography

A good overview of Amelia Earhart's life and career. The only issue I took with the book was the bits that just seemed to list her lecture itineraries - although this does serve to show how very busy she was - overall a good read though.

A relatively detailed biography that follows sequentially the events in Amelia Earhart's life. Rich did cover well the early-twentieth century aviation scene in America, and Earhart's contribution to it; not only that, but Rich dealt with Earhart objectively and dispels much of the myths surrounding the ill-fated aviatrix. The only complaint would be that a more detailed epilogue and some critical evaluation could have been added.
