Lovell's bestselling biography The Sound of Wings is the basis for the major movie Amelia, starring Richard Gere and Hilary Swank.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nIn 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 and public relations agent who became both her husband and her business manager.\n\nThis is a revealing biography of an uncommonly brave woman, and the man who both aided and took advantage of her dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312587338\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e black \u0026amp; white illustrations, maps, front\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757952401709,"sku":"U000001332","price":10.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/71AR92QT5wL.jpg?v=1768504207","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/the-sound-of-wings-the-life-of-amelia-earhart","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
