Tomboy of the Air: Daredevil Pilot Blanche Stuart Scott
Julie Cummins

HarperCollins, 2001

A Swell Pioneer Aviation Book

Ms. Cummins has produced a very attractive small volume on Blanche Stuart Scott, pioneer aviator. The volume is well designed, as might be expected from a mainline publisher (Harper Collins) and the text is informative. While the book yields a good notion of who Ms. Stuart Scott was, a better ...
  
  











  



  
Winning My Wings: A Woman Airforce Service Pilot in World War II
Marion Stegeman Hodgson

Naval Inst Pr, 1996

Winning My Wings: A Woman Airforce Service Pilot in World War II

+ Outstanding insight to the joys and tragedies of flying

This was a wonderful book. I belong to a book club and I like to choose books about women. I was visiting the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington several months ago and came across this book. It looked so interesting that I decided to choose it for my book club to read. Everyone LOVED the ...
  
  











  



  
Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Pantheon, 1991

A Joy Forever

+ A Few Shells
+ This book is truly a gift

What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the ...

Wright Sister, The
Richard Maurer

Roaring Brook Press, 2003

Loved it

+ The Wright Sister
+ Great Story of little known Wright Sister

Loved this book. Katharine Wright inspired me to want to name my daughter (if I have one)Katharine. But I wish people would spell Katharine Wright's name RIGHT in reviews. AR, not ER in the Katharine.
  
  











  



  
My Brothers' Flying Machine: Wilbur, Orville, and Me
Jane Yolen

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2003

Loved it!

+ My Brothers' Flying Machine

This is a wonderful book! The perspective of this story from Orville & Wilbur's little sister, Katherine, is unique and charming. The book reads really well out loud for all ages, and should be a perfect read-by-myself book for a 3rd,4th or 5th grade reader. And the beautiful illustrations, by ...
  
  











  



  
Queen Bess: Daredevil Aviator
Doris L. Rich

Smithsonian Books, 1993

An Inspiring look at a very determined woman

As far as I know, this is the only adult biography of Bessie Coleman, the pioneer African-American aviatrix. Rich notes that she was hampered by a lack of personal material, but has none the less produced a fascinating biography. Coleman, a woman of modest background, overcame barriers of ...
  
  











  



  
West with the Night
Beryl Markham

North Point Press, 1982

West with the Night

+ West with the Night
+ Reads like fiction
+ Far far better than I anticipated. Great writing.
+ More than a memoir
  
  











  



  
Those Wonderful Women in Their Flying Machines: The Unknown Heroines of World War Two
Sally Van Wagenen Keil

Four Directions PR, 1994

An inspiring read for any adventurous spirit or history buff

+ The Definitive Account of American Women Aviators in WWII
+ Women Link Aline Rhonie (Hofheimer) Brooks won WW II!

Facinating! A true and candid account of history's flygirls and the Women Pilots during WWII, this book is almost impossible to put down. So little has been told about these pioneering women of the skies. The amazing, daring accounts of pilot training, WWII travels, and the prejudices battled ...
  
  











  



  
How High She Flies: Dorothy Swain Lewis, WASP of WWII, Horsewoman, Artist, Teacher

How High She Flies; A Winner!

How High She Flies is a beautiful book about an extraordinary woman! Dorothy Swain Lewis is an artist and sculptor, a teacher and mother, a bright and humorous lady whose story is an inspiration. A World War II WASP, Dot has created the bronze statues to her fellow fliers at the Air Force Academy ...
