Lovell, author of The Sisters and The Churchills, presents this biography of Beryl Markham. Beryl Markham was a record breaking aviatrix, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic from east to west, and the first person in history to fly non-stop from London to New York. Markham's personal life was just as interesting as her professional life, both of which are covered in this well-researched and expertly written biography. This book, a reprint from 1987, appeals to the general reader as well as those with an interest in aviation history. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
