Quote
By Amelia Earhart
I can only hope, therefore, that some of the fun of flying the Atlantic has sifted into my pages and that some of the charm and romance of old ships may be seen to cling similarly to the ships of the air.

About this quote
From Earhart's foreword to her book about the 1928 Friendship flight, the first crossing of the Atlantic by air by a woman (she was a passenger). She has just said she is disappointed not to have written a serious "work".
