In 1937, Amelia Earhart set off on a historic journey around the world, disappearing at the height of her fame.
The record-setting pilot inspired other women to want to fly. She championed the young aviation industry and predicted a future where everyone flew.
A new book details her life, her legacy and her marriage to a shameless promoter that ultimately sealed her fate.
Author Laurie Gwen Shapiro joins us for this hour of All Sides, ahead of a book talk in Columbus next week.
Guest:
- Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author, The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage That Made an American Icon
