This fresh look at Hollywood's "Queen of Screwball," Carole Lombard, presents a first-ever examination of the events that led to the shocking flight mishap that took her life on the side of a Nevada mountain in 1942. It also provides a day-by-day account of the struggles of Lombard's husband, Clark Gable, and other family, friends, and fans to cope with the tragedy. In effect, having just completed the first sale of war bonds and stamps in the nation following its entry into World War II, Lombard became the first Hollywood star to sacrifice her life in the war.

Incredibly Interesting
Revisado: 04-19-22
I love biographies and while this one zeros in on the events leading up to and surrounding Carole’s death, I was still captivated by it. I was afraid it might use too much aviation jargon and be too technical to be interesting to me, but thankfully it wasn’t.
The author swaps back and forth from perspectives and keeps you hanging on for the continuation.
The narrator was just fabulous to listen to. Often I find myself speeding up the narration to about 1.3 on certain narrators just to tolerate their voices (and sometimes to get me out of my misery sooner). This lady was great - her inflections and her speed of reading made for a very pleasant listen.
