1942Best.-Nr. 19265Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1942. Hardcover. Good-/No Jacket. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1942. Early printing probably 1st year. 294 pages. Good-. Tight binding; exlibrary with usual marks; pages mostly clean; spine a little sticky in one spot due to old label residue; covers have some wear scuffing and soil; no jacket. Very scarce signed. West with the Night is a 1942 memoir by Beryl Markham chronicling her experiences growing up in Kenya then British East Africa in the early 1900s leading to celebrated careers as a racehorse trainer and bush pilot there. It is considered a classic of outdoor literature. In 2004 National Geographic Adventure ranked it number 8 in a list of 100 best adventure books. Markham was the first person to fly the Atlantic east to west in a solo non-stop flight a westbound flight requires more endurance fuel and time than the eastward journey because the craft must travel against the prevailing Atlantic winds. When Markham decided to take on the Atlantic crossing no pilot had yet flown non-stop from Europe to New York and no woman had made the westward flight solo though several had died trying. Markham hoped to claim both records. On 4 September 1936 she took off from Abingdon England. After a 20-hour flight her Vega Gull The Messenger suffered fuel starvation due to icing of the fuel tank vents and she crash-landed at Baleine Cove on Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia Canada. Markham had become the first woman to cross the Atlantic east-to-west solo and the first person to make it from England to North America non-stop from east to west. She was celebrated as an aviation pioneer. SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE INTERESTING AND COLLECTIBLE TITLES. . Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company hardcover
