THE STORY OF HER LAST FLIGHT

AUTHOUGH She makes no fuss about them, the stories told by Amelia Earhart in her "Last Flight" are by no means uncommunicative or bald. It was her intention to write a book when she completed her last’ project, and it was to be called "World Flight." As a memorial substitute, "Last Plight" takes its place. Through the material left behind, Mr. George Putnam, Amelia Earhart’s husband, has been able to arrange, almost in his wife’s words, the full story of her flying life. There is very little about her Atlantie flight; and her Pacifie flight she recalls almost as cooliy. Pertinently, she remarks: "The time to worry is three months before @ flight. Decide then whether the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying. To worry is to add another hazard." She told her hnuse band, "It just seems that I must try this (last) flight. I’ve weighed it ail _ carefully. With it behind me life will ‘be fuller and richer. I can be content. Afterward it will be fun to grow old." "Last Flight," then, is the record of the life of a very level-headed, brave and charming woman pioneer in long: distance aviation.
