The article examines Amelia Earhart's career, detailing how pressures from her husband and her own desire for adventure drove her to take excessive risks in aviation. One major incident highlighted is her failed departure in Hawaii, which almost ended in disaster but foreshadowed her eventual disappearance. The narrative portrays Earhart's challenges as she navigated fame and media expectations, often ignoring her limitations. In another segment, criticism of FEMA's leadership reflects poorly on preparedness for upcoming hurricane seasons.
"In a deeply engrossing piece from this week's issue, Shapiro explores how Earhart's aviation career was largely orchestrated by her media-savvy husband, who pushed her to take greater and greater risks, despite her lack of experience as a pilot."
