The new movie, Amelia, about Amelia Earhart (Read more...) is based upon two books:

East to the Dawn: The Life of Amelia Earhart by Susan Butler (Find one edition in our catalog. Find another edition in our catalog)

This is what it says about the biography in our catalog: "Journalist Butler deepens the familiar picture of the US flier who vanished mysteriously in 1937 to reveal Earhart's personae as an educator, a social worker, a lecturer, a businesswoman, and a promoter of women's rights. She also provides details about that last flight and wades through the accumulated mythology to seek a reasonable explanation for her loss. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or."

The Sound Of Wings: The Life Of Amelia Earhart by Mary S. Lovell (Find this book in our catalog)

"This definitive biography of aviation legend Amelia Earhart delivers a brilliantly researched report on Earhart's life--from her tomboy childhood and early fascination with flying, her peculiar business/matrimonial realtionship with publisher G.P. Putnam to her consuming quest for avaiation fame." (summary in our catalog)
