"Vividly evokes the tragic aspect of Amelia Earhart, as well as [her] moxie and grit... and the hair-raising atmosphere of pioneering aviation." -
New York Times Book Review
Mary S. Lovell's bestselling biography
The Sound of Wings is the basis for the major movie
Amelia, starring Richard Gere and Hilary Swank.
When Amelia Earhart mysteriously disappeared in 1937 during her attempted flight around the world, she was already known as America's most famous female aviator. Her sense of daring and determination, rare for women of her time, brought her insurmountable fame from the day she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane.
In this definitive biography, Mary S. Lovell delivers a brilliantly researched account on Earhart's life using the original documents, letters, the logbooks of Earhart and her contemporaries, and personal interviews with members of Amelia's family, friends and rival aviators.
The Sound of Wings vividly captures the drama and mystery behind the most influential woman in "The Golden Age of Flight" -from her tomboy days at the turn of the century and her early fascinations with flying, to the unique relationship she shared with G.P. Putnam, the flamboyant publisher who became both her husband and her business manager.
This is a revealing biography of an uncommonly brave woman, and the man who both aided and took advantage of her dreams.
"The most carefully researched Earhart biography to date." -
Boston Herald
"A realistic, full-bodied portrait." -
Booklist
"A monumental biography-Mary Lovell is the real thing: a biographer passionately interested in her subjects. She realises her material and retells with tremendous verve all the best stories." -
