No Direct Flights Today
This is the sixteenth leg of her almost around the world flight. On this day seventy-five years ago Amelia flew 300 miles from El Fasher, Sudan, to Khartoum, Sudan, refueled there and then on to Massawa, Ethiopia. Amelia describes a long day of land-markless desert flying and "...the rough going over the mountains, the low trip down..." and feeling famished because, "As usual I had forgotten to eat." When an English speaking officer asked her if she was hungry, she replied, "As hollow as a bamboo horse."
