About this listen

Amelia Earhart captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world when she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane. This audiobook, her personal account of the historic flight, sparkles with her high-spirited charm and adventurous determination.

Narrated by a fellow female pilot with a voice reminiscent of Earhart’s Midwest twang, it includes logbook entries from the historic flight as well as an autobiographical account of her young adult life and fascination with airplanes, and a serious-minded discussion of the future of flight and the important role of women in aviation. 20 Hrs. 40 Min. remains a classic tale of adventure to this day.

Includes a bonus PDF with illustrations and photos, including photos of actual logbook pages from Amelia’s flight

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Before this audiobook I did not know that Amelia Earhart was anything but an aviation oioneer, but this brings her to life as a unique woman who just does it all. She is a poet and author and had a dry wit about her that this reader brings out charmingly. She talks about the future of aviation in a way that is almost eerie in the way she tells her story about the flight across the Atlantic. She achieved so much fame, but should have had even more for her wit and talents far more than just flying. The tragedy of her disappearance overshadows all the other things she did. Excellent book and excellent narration from a woman who is also a pilot. History came alive for me and Earhart did, too in this audiobook.

20 Hrs. 40 Min. is a classic tale of adventure from which the entire world should understand once and for all that flying transcends gender or other such misconceptions.

Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane and this is her personal account of that historic flight.

Amelia expresses herself in writing with accuracy, originality, and elegance. I absolutely love her memoirs and I am grateful that such a talented narrator and connoisseur of aviation as Pamela Almand takes me on these unforgettable adventures.

For those of you who don’t know yet, Pamela is an award-winning narrator and former pilot. She is extremely talented, and thanks to an excellent performance in which she manages to capture Amelia‘s Midwest twang, we, as listeners, are treated to a completely immersive narrative experience.

I think that the job of any audiobook narrator is to create a sense that one is inside the story, living it alongside the main character, instead of just looking in from the outside.

Pamela has the skills and the knowledge to do exactly that. Her enthusiasm at the opportunity to perform for us these daring adventures is evident right from the beginning: from the heartfelt introduction written by herself, the good vibes permeate throughout the audio production.

Between the introduction and the actual journey there is a foreword narrated by Karen Commins that also helps shed some light upon Amelia‘s beautiful and noble character.

20 Hrs. 40 Min.: Our Flight in the Friendship: The American Girl, First Across the Atlantic by Air, Tells Her Story springs to colorful and vivid relief in the listener’s imagination as an audio journey thanks to another truly captivating and completely immersive performance delivered expertly by multiple award-winning narrator Pamela Almand.

I highly recommend this audiobook to everyone and anyone who wants to discover new details about the endlessly fascinating Amelia Earhart and to those interested by the history of aviation.
