National Geographic Adventure Classics: 20 Hrs., 40 Min., Our Flight in the Friendship
LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER—SAVE 20% on Every Book Store-wide!

Commemorating the 75th anniversary of her first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, 20 Hrs., 40 Min. reintroduces Amelia Earhart—one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century&151;to a new generation of readers.
