Written by the aviator who became the first person to fly alone east to west across the Atlantic. "With the skill of someone who has filled long nights with stories, Markham recounts her adventure--discoveries, rescues, and narrow escapes, the glint of an airplane abandoned in the desert, the look of a lion about to pounce"--Nation
