Includes Note to the Reader; Dedication; Preliminary Page Poem entitled: Courage - Amelia Earhart, 1927, which appeared in Survey Magazine, July 1, 1928; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Prologue; Appendix A: Radio Communications; Appendix B: Technical Aspects of the Lae-Howland Flight; Appendix C: The Earhart Disappearance Theories; Appendix D: Chronology of Important Events in Amelia Earhart's Life; Glossary; Notes; Selected Reading; and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps, radar maps and photographic portrait frontispiece of Amelia Earhart. "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 of Earhart's life, using the original documents, letters and logbooks of Earhart and her contemporaries, as well as personal interviews with member of Amelia's family, friends, and rival aviators. The Sound of Wings vividly capures 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 fascination 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. It is a revealing look at an uncommonly brave woman and the man who both aided and took advantage of her dreams." - from the rear outer cover. "Vividly evokes the tragic aspect of Amelia Earhart, as well as the moxie and grit of her personality and the hair-raising atmosphere of pioneering aviation." - The New York Times Book Review "The most carefully researched Earhart biography to date." - The 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 realizes her material and retells with tremendous verve all the best stories." - The Times (UK), Books<
