Description

West with the Night tells the story of Beryl Markham's remarkable aviation achievements and her journey to become an aviation pioneer.

In 1936, Markham embarked on a historic solo flight from England to North America, becoming the first person to make this non-stop journey. Although she fell short of her goal to fly east to west across the Atlantic, her achievement marked a significant milestone in women's aviation and earned her widespread recognition.

Markham's remarkable story is chronicled in her memoir, West with the Night, which offers a fascinating glimpse into her life as an adventurer and trailblazer. First published in 1942, this book has been reissued in a new hardcover edition, offering readers a chance to discover the inspiring true story of one of aviation's most pioneering figures.
