Wayland (Verlag)
978-1-5263-1356-0 (ISBN)
A gripping illustrated account of how Amelia Earhart famously became the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic
Pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart set many records in her lifetime, and historically became the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean in May 1932. Tragically, just five years later, her plane disappeared while Amelia was attempting to circumnavigate the globe, and her fate remains a mystery to this day.
"Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failures must be but a challenge to others."
Fully illustrated throughout, with fresh, modern artwork breathing new life into this famous story. Perfect for readers aged 8 and up.
Ben Hubbard began his writing career at a what's-on newspaper in the 1990s, interviewing bands, actors and artists in his native Wellington, New Zealand. He later joined the fast-paced world of daily newspaper journalism before packing up shop and moving to England. Here, Ben tied a number of new strings to his bow: magazine editor, book editor, and finally, author. Today, Ben writes a mix of non-fiction for all ages - preschoolers through to adults. He has penned titles on an eclectic subject range: from space exploration, samurai warriors and medieval castles; to pop music, pets, tornadoes and rugby skills.
