This book holds the reader's interest on almost every page and gives a convincing understanding of Amelia Earhart's temperament as well as of her husband's. For the first time, I really got a clear understanding of the ambitious people they were and of the commercial background of their projects.I had learned from other books that Amelia was not a born aviator and did not have the skill to really master a plane, especially such a large one as was used in her last flight. But this book made her deficiencies all too clear and they were considerable. She was careless about important facets such as navigation and communication, all of which played a part in her last terrible ordeal in the search for Howland Island. She could not shake her habit of pressing the wrong foot pedals when the plane pivots suddenly during a landing. Even to the end, her instructors could not break her of the habit. This no doubt accounts for some of the crackups she experienced.She was intrepid despite the fear she experienced during various accidents. Her courage is incontestable. But perhaps it went too far, into careless risk taking and an excess of ambition for title after title. However, that was her career. She made her living from adventure stories to be told on the lecture tours. And her husband George Putnam facilitated her increasingly ambitious efforts. I had never heard much good about Putnam and his pushing of his wife into risky endeavors. This book, though, is extremely favorable to him, often reiterating that he was simply facilitating what Amelia was determined to do.I came away with a dislike of Putnam and his volatile temperament despite the virtues insisted upon by the author. As a minor point, I had not realized that he married again a year or two after Amelia's death.I do not nor does the author believe that Amelia and the "forgotten" Noonan could have survived a plunge into the ocean from a thousand feet or so. There was a bulky piece of equipment protruding just in front of her head in a cabin space of four feet by four feet, all the space she had to sit in. A crash landing would have driven the insrument into her forehead at terrifying speed.I came away with great respect for the instructors who guided Amelia through preparations for her various flights. Several were true masters of flying, more instinctive pilots than Amelia was. And they had real concern for her well being, for the radio capabilities and other arcane aspects of airplanes upon which her safety would depend. It is a pity that she ever began that last expedition (and the helpers and instructors probably would have concurred although they helped her as best they could when her mind was made up.) Her neglect and indifference in relation to methods of communication, just days before the adventure was to begin, reveal a tragic shortcoming in a heroic personality.She was a product, in a sense, of the advertising skills first of various flight promoters (for commercial purposes) and then of her husband. Although there were other courageous and immensely skilled women flyers, some of whom, like Amelia, died tragically, she captured the public imagination like no others.I have always liked Amelia Earhart. I pity her in those terrifying hours above the Pacific. I also believe her instinct to turn left instead of right played some part in causing her to miss Howland Island. (In Africa on the way out she had made the same turn and missed the place she was aiming for.) This book is for readers who want to understand how she came to be where she was, in the middle of an endless ocean searching desperately for a tiny island and knowing that her fuel was running out.
Amelia was never considered a natural pilot or even a very good one. Her beauty was natural and character exceeded all her contemporaries for strength, adventure, imagination and courage. Amelia's story should be more than her last, fatal flight across the Pacific ocean. She challenged and succeeded in equaling what men had done in early aviation frontiers in the face of ridicule and doubt. She helped create the modern air transportation industry by making air travel accessible, showing that even a women could fly safely! This is one of the better books describing her complete life, without worship or criticism.
No matter how you slice it AE's story is a tragedy. It's also a story with the ending known (she disappeared). However, this is a very well writen biography. Actually it is a double biography in that it includes both Amelia and her husband George, both from birth to death. I have a much better impression of George Putnam than I had before. It was also good to understand Amelia was a head strong person and actively sought out each new adventure. That is, rather than being manipulated by her publicist husband. As a Purdue graduate I also enjoyed learning more about Amelia's relationship with the university. There she was lecturing a Purdue class during the month I was born. That the university essentially paid for Amelia's Lockheed Electra is amazing.
I'd been told by an authority that this was the best Earhart bio, and I think it is. I especially appreciate the attention it gives to George Palmer Putnam, who's too often ignored or vilified. And uniquely, it pointed me to GP's pseudonymous "Cruise of the Kawa," which is really a hoot.
Our daughter used information in this book for a 3rd grade school project on Amelia Earhart. Some sections were too difficult, but the transcripts of radio communication were of particular interest to our daughter.
This is the best biography of AE that I have found to date, although my only complaint is that the author reaches a bit when declaring such statements as: (paraphrased) "One can only surmise that AE had difficulty with the family's state of affairs, at her tender age". Other than that, it is a fair and balanced report, and it is WONDERFUL that the author has repatriated George Putnam. This is a vital read for anyone interested in AE's life.
Interesting but falls a bit short of thrilling. Learned a lot about George Putman.
Great family read.
