Listen! The Wind, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh (HC, 1938, $3.50, which is 1/3 the internet price)
In 1933, the Lindberghs flew from Africa to Brazil. It took 6 months, but this account covers only ten days. "Mrs. Lindbergh has skillfully included in her narrative every detail of importance concerning the plans for the flight, the final preparation of the plane, the manipulation of the radio, and the actual piloting." Actually it looks like she did include it all, except for why she was on the flight, and how it felt to be there. Those are things I would have sure liked to hear about.
Look for this book in the bio. section, avail. 12/21.
