Summary: "20 Hrs. 40 Min.: Our Flight in the Friendship" by Amelia Earhart is an autobiographical account written in the late 1920s. This work details Earhart's historic transatlantic flight, marking her journey as the first woman to achieve such a feat by air. The book not only chronicles the logistical preparation and execution of the flight but also offers insights into her personal experiences, aspirations, and challenges as a pioneering aviatrix in a male-dominated field. The opening of the book sets the stage for Earhart’s remarkable adventure, revealing her background and the circumstances leading up to the flight. It contains reflections on her education, early interest in aviation, and her work with the Red Cross during the war, which shaped her views and aspirations. The narrative introduces her collaborators, including Wilmer Stultz and Slim Gordon, who would accompany her across the Atlantic in the modified Fokker aircraft named Friendship. Through both recollections and a depersonalized recounting of events, the stage is set for the many obstacles and preparations that lead to this audacious flight into the unknown.
