"I was put off with the beginning of this book, which contains much technical information about Amelia Earhart's preparations for her ill-fated around-the-world flight. Once the flight begins, however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that all this technical information was now highly relevant--and highly interesting too. Having finished the book, I have two lingering gripes:
1. The book spends too much time debunking misinformation that will be familiar only to the Earhart-obsessed--ordinary readers will just want to know the facts.
2. The epilogue is an annoying one-page tease. A great deal of archaeological evidence has been uncovered supporting a possible crash site for the Earhart plane, but this epilogue chooses to give only the barest hint of what has been learned.
On the whole, however, I highly recommend this book. It is history of the best sort in that it fights mightily to cut through myth and misinformation and to establish what we actually know about a fascinating story."
"This is a good book, if for no other reason that it uncovers a wealth of documentation not seen before. As such, it presents another, and somewhat logical, alternative to the "simple disappearance" theory."
