Night Flight

Night Flight: Amelia Earhart Crosses the Atlantic by Robert Burleigh, paintings by Wendell Minor, A Paula Wiseman Book for Simon and Schuster Books for Young People, 2011, ISBN 978-1-4169-6733-0
PS: An account of Amelia Earhart's dangerous 1932 flight across the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Ireland, in which she survived bad weather and a malfunctioning airplane. Includes a brief biography of the aviator.
This is a great adventure book and gives a personal glimpse into one of Earhart's most dangerous and stressful flights. Her reaction upon finally landing in Ireland says a lot about her character: "AE looks down (at a man in the field). She pauses. There is so much that one could say. But not now. Instead, she simply smiles the widest smile of her entire life. 'Hi", she says simply. 'Hi, I've come from America.'"
