“This collective biography introduces significant women in aviation,
with chapters spotlighting Harriet Quimby, Bessie Coleman,
Amelia Earhart, Beryl Markham, Anne Morrow Lindbergh,
and Jackie Cochran. The final chapter surveys the role of women
in aviation after World War II and focuses on some pivotal figures within
the framework of a more general discussion. Illustrations, including many
black-and-white photographs and a few maps, appear throughout the book.
A glossary and bibliography are appended. This well-written volume provides
a solid overview of the subject as well as intriguing portrayals of individual
pilots.”
