Women Aviators: 07/10/15
Women Aviators by Karen Bush Gibson covers the history of the women who contributed to the progress of aviation. Most of the aviation books I've read cover exactly one aviatrix, to use an out of date term. I'm speaking of Amelia Earhart, of course. The one exception is Amelia Lost by Candace Fleming which mentions her female competitors as a way to put her flying career into perspective. Gibson's book does a better and more even handed job by presenting Earhart in the midst of twenty-five other short biographies that include their planes and majors flights. Three stars Comments (0) |
