Amelia Earhart : the turbulent life of an American icon / Kathleen C. Winters. by Winters, Kathleen C. New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2010. Subjects Earhart, Amelia, 1897-1937.   Women air pilots -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9780230616691 (hardback) : 0230616690 (hardback) Description:  vi, 242 p. : ill., map ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  "When Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific in 1937, she was at the height of her fame. Fascination with Earhart remains just as strong today, as her mysterious disappearance continues to inspire speculation. In this nuanced and often surprising biography, acclaimed aviation historian Kathleen C. Winters moves beyond the caricature of the spunky, precocious pilot to offer a more complex portrait. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary accounts, airline records, and other original research, this book reveals a flawed heroine who was frequently reckless and lacked basic navigation skills, but who was also a canny manipulator of mass media. Winters details how Earhart and her husband, publisher George Putnam, worked to establish her as an international icon, even as other spectacular pilots went unnoticed. Sympathetic yet unsentimental, this biography helps us to see Amelia Earhart with fresh eyes"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Biography B Earhart Wi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 629.13092 Earhart Wi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Biography B Earhart Wi Checked out 07/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList
