20 Hrs. 40 Min.(Coming Soon)
In 20 Hrs. 40 Min., Amelia Earhart recounts the extraordinary 1928 transatlantic flight that made her the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by airplane. Traveling aboard the Friendship with pilot Wilmer Stultz and mechanic Louis Gordon, Earhart departed Newfoundland for what would become a perilous twenty-hour, forty-minute journey through fog, storms, mechanical uncertainty, and the vast isolation of the North Atlantic. Written soon after the flight, Earhart’s account possesses an immediacy that later histories cannot reproduce. She describes not only the hazards and practical realities of early aviation, but also the people, preparations, aircraft, and remarkable spirit of experimentation that characterized an era when long-distance flight remained genuinely dangerous. Part adventure narrative, part aviation history, and part personal memoir, 20 Hrs. 40 Min. captures a pivotal moment in both Earhart’s life and the history of flight—told by the woman who experienced it firsthand.
