Aviatrix was first published in 1960 as 'Daughter of the Sky: The Story of Amelia Earhart.' Briand recounts the life of Amelia Earhart from her early years growing up in Kansas, her work as a nurse and social worker, and her many adventures in flying. Also included is a detailed account of her final flight around the globe, with a transcript of Earhart’s final radio messages prior to her still unsolved disappearance.
A new Epilogue by Steve W. Chadde provides an update on the search for Amelia Earhart, her navigator Fred Noonan, and her Lockheed Electra aircraft.
