Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Reviewed by: Night Flight: Amelia Earhart Crosses the Atlantic Deborah Stevenson Burleigh, Robert . Night Flight: Amelia Earhart Crosses the Atlantic; illus. by Wendell Minor . Wiseman/Simon, 2011. [40p]. ISBN 978-1-4169-6733-0 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 3-6. Noted picture-book biographer Burleigh here turns his attention to legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, tracing her 1932 solo transatlantic flight, the first such by a woman. Present-tense third-person narration follows Earhart from her sunset takeoff from Newfoundland through her storm-wracked fourteen-hour crossing to her safe landing in Ireland. Burleigh’s lyrical language (“Rivers of quicksilver darkness drown the moon”) is even more figurative than in his biographies of Tenzing Norgay (Tiger of the Snows, BCCB 6/06) and Admiral Byrd (Black Whiteness, BCCB 2/98), but there’s plenty of concrete detail from Earhart’s life and words, and it’s an effective combination for evoking the strange, risky experience of Earhart’s flight. Minor favors warm tones in his gouache-and-watercolor illustrations, making the most of Earhart’s ruby-red plane against the gloom of night (there’s even an illustrator’s [End Page 272] note about later modifications to the plane) in creatively varied perspectives. In fact, so many of the shots are external, focusing on the plane’s details, that the visuals are oddly impersonal partners for the intimate individuality of the text; the few views of Earhart herself (almost always through the windshield) effectively capture her determination without glamorizing her. This could be a dramatic readaloud as well as a readalone, and it’s a vivid in medias res introduction to Earhart for kids not ready for Taylor’s Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean (BCCB 2/10). End matter includes a biographical afterword, a bibliography and list of internet resources, and a collection of (unsourced) quotations from Earhart.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
