In 1964, at age 27, Joan Merriam Smith made history when she became the first person to complete a solo flight around the equator and the youngest woman to fly around the world. In pursuit of a lifelong dream to complete Amelia Earharts route, Joan overcame tremendous odds to complete her flight, from numerous mechanical troubles to persistent bad weather and unexplained resistance from officials at every turn. Yet her heroic story has gone mostly untold in the annals of aviation until now.More than 50 years later, Tiffany Brown discovered a box belonging to her grandmother, Trixie Schubert, the foreign news correspondent who had died years earlier. Inside the box, Brown found a manuscript, written by Trixie, revealing the details of Joans world flight, but also raising questions about the mysterious plane crash that resulted in both womens deaths.In Fate on a Folded Wing, Brown brings Joans highflying journey to life. Aided by historical records, letters, personal accounts of the two women and their families and friends, and her own grandmothers longforgotten manuscript, Brown shares this epic tale about a onceinalifetime adventure and the unsung, heroic women determined to overcome the odds to fulfill their dreams.
