"How could I write about Amelia Earhart going up in a plane for the firsttime if I had never experienced it?" explained Jane Moore Howe, formernewspaper columnist. "So I went to the airport (this was 1949 mind you!),took my first plane ride in a tiny training plane and landed with my stomachdoing flip-flops. Then I knew how Amelia must have felt."Mrs. Howe's concern for detail while writing Amelia Earhart, Young AirPioneer resulted in a long friendship with "Pidge," the aviator's sister,whom Jane consulted regarding the incidents included in the book. "I wantedto choose events that showed Amelia's courage," Jane said.The first edition of Amelia Earhart was published in 1950. Jane Moore Howe,now a great-grandmother, is thrilled to introduce Amelia's adventures to anew generation.
