D. A. (wandasue) - reviewed on 1/10/2007

This is Beryl Markham's memoir of growing up in East Africa (she was English). She became interested in aviation and for a while carried mail and supplies to remote corners of Africa. She was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic going from east to west (England to Nova Scotia). Quite a woman for her time.
