Chronicling her groundbreaking journey, the memoir details the challenges faced by a pioneering aviator who aimed to cross the Atlantic solo from east to west. Despite crash-landing in Nova Scotia after a 20-hour flight, she became the first woman to achieve this feat and the first person to fly non-stop from England to North America. Celebrated as an aviation trailblazer, her story highlights both her adventurous spirit and the historical context of female pilots. The book, initially published in 1942, offers a rich narrative of her life and experiences.
