Less than 13 months after Charles Lindbergh's heralded accomplishment, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to achieve the feat. Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Fokker Plane Friendship Held Up by Adverse Wind" (see images) Weather would delay her from finishing the journey for more than a week.
Complete with 26 pages, light toning and a few small tears at margins, small library label near the top of the front page, a little irregular along the spine, otherwise good.
