    In this book, Neta Snook Southern relives those exciting days again and takes us with her.
    In these pages, we learn what it was like to teach Amelia Earhart to fly, and how it felt to be associated with the likes of Glenn Curtiss, Donald Douglas, Eddie Stinson, Eddie Rickenbacker, the daring balloonist Major Thomas Baldwin, and many others.
    Interesting tid-bit:
    A young Amelia Earhart sought out Neta Snook Southern to teach her to fly so that Amelia could prove to her father and her family that there were successful women in aviation.
