A well written children's biography, with ample photographs, and a bibliography at the end, Good work. (Published in 1988. It's possible that later research yields substantial information that necessitates an update. As of 2026, it's still all speculative.)
this book is about the life of Amelia Earhart and the amazing life that she lived as a pioneer not just for women but for all pilots. http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresources/units/byrnes-famous/earhart.html
