About This Book

A first-person memoir recounts the author's preparation for and completion of an Atlantic crossing in a small passenger monoplane, interweaving practical details of training, mechanical and navigational challenges, weather conditions, and crew coordination with on-the-ground episodes at staging points and a public reception on arrival. Chapters survey earlier flying experiences, the move of base, logistical planning, and the aftermath, while essays reflect on technological progress, the role of women in aviation, and personal motivations. Numerous photographs and illustrations document people, aircraft, and places encountered.
