Last Flight is a book published in 1937 consisting of diary entries and other notes compiled by aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart during her unsuccessful attempt that year at flying solo across the Pacific Ocean.

[citation needed] Amelia Earhart explains the origin of her dream to fly a multi-motored plane, which was in May 1935 during her nonstop flight from Mexico City to New York.

In an attempt to be funny and scare the two women, one pilot flew low and directly over them, causing one to scamper away and the other, Amelia Earhart, to become mesmerized by her experience.

Amelia Earhart described her plane as "second-hand, painted bright yellow, and one of the first light airplanes developed in this country [United States of America]."

Now that she had the plane, she spent a few hundred hours practicing in it and made a flight from Long Beach to Pasadena, but wanted nothing more than "to cross the continent by air".

Then, one day, when she was working her social worker job at the Denison House, in Boston, she received a call asking if she would like to do "something dangerous in the air."

Following the "Friendship" flight, Earhart performed in a variety of flying exhibitions, but her aviation career began its climax in 1929 when the first women's derby took place.

After numerous hours of practicing with the newly purchased plane, Amelia Earhart had to wait for the weather to clear up for another lengthy period of time.

Earhart also puts into words that she carried a barograph, that at one point recorded a vertical drop of almost three thousand feet, yet she miraculously was able to regain control and successfully completed her flight.
