Description
The story of the noble-born unconventional Englishwoman, Beryl Markham, who became a famous aviator.
Description
"Taken as a young child to British East Africa, where she was left by her mother to be raised by a father who trained thoroughbreds for the Nairobi racing scene, Markham grew up to become one of the most daring and courageous women of her time. ... Beryl Markham would twice go on to become a figure of international renown: in 1936, when she became the first person ever to fly the Atlantic solo the hard way--against the headwinds--from England to North America; and again in 1983, when her 1942 memoir, West With the Night, was republished to worldwide literary acclaim."--Dust jacket flap.
