Amelia Earhart’s memoir The Fun of It, available now as audiobook recorded by award-winning narrator and former pilot Pamela Almand
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! I am really glad to let you all know that Emilia Earhart’s autobiographical novel The Fun of It has recently been released in audiobook format. The audio production is recorded by multiple award winning narrator and former 747 captain Pamela Almand.
With a runtime of 5 hours and a half, this should prove to be a captivating narrative experience for aviation fans and for those wanting to find out more about this fearless pioneer.
Publisher’s Summary:
Amelia Earhart’s autobiographical book The Fun of It: Random Records of My Own Flying and of Women in Aviation covers Earhart’s life through May 20-21, 1932, “when Miss Earhart, alone in a Lockheed Vega monoplane with a single Wasp engine, negotiated 2,026 miles through storm and fog from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to a cow pasture on the outskirts of Londonderry, Ireland. The flight set a transatlantic record of 14 hours, 56 minutes…and stirred such public adulation that she confided, ‘I’ll be glad when the zoo part is over.’” (ANB)
Pamela Almand is an Audible Approved Producer, and a winner for multiple Voice Arts Awards and the coveted AudioFile’s Earphones Award, but also an Audie Award nominee.
As a former 747 captain for Northwest Airlines, Pam’s low-pitched voice served her well coming from the flight deck to calm and reassure her passengers. Now, with over a decade of professional award-winning voice acting experience, she provides voiceover and narration with not only calm professionalism and authority, but also conversational, friendly Mom-warmth…or smoky, sultry, low-pitched smoothness… all the way to dynamic and bright energy for infomercials and CTAs!
From MrNussbaum.com we find out that Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous celebrities of her time. She was one of the world’s first female pilots and certainly its most famous. She made daring flights and broke many flight records. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean by herself. She broke the record for flying across the Atlantic Ocean in the shortest amount of time. She also flew higher in the sky than any other woman pilot of her time. She did all of this in the 1920s and 1930s – when women were expected to be in the house and take care of children. Women were rarely in the public spotlight.
In 1937, Amelia decided to fly around the world. It was a very risky flight that had never been completed by a female pilot. Amelia, however, was fearless. Her flight left California on June 1, 1937. Amelia and her airplane made stops throughout South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. She was tired and sick during much of the flight, but carried on. At each stop she was greeted by admirers. On July 2, 1937, Amelia left New Guinea. She had to cross the Pacific Ocean to complete the flight. Amelia was supposed to land on tiny Howland Island for fuel. She couldn’t find it and never made it.
U.S. ships searched for her for over a week but could not find her. People were devastated. They assumed she had crashed somewhere in the huge ocean. Amelia would never be found. To this day, no one knows for sure what happened to Amelia Earhart.
