This review is from: The Roaring Twenty: The First Cross-Country Air Race for Women (Hardcover)
Rebeccasreads highly recommends THE ROARING 20 as an elegant tribute to our flying great-grandmothers.
1929 was a glorious year for the spills & thrills in the history of flight culminating in the National Air Races & Aeronautical Exposition in Cleveland, Ohio. It will also feature a 9 day, 2,800 mile women's cross-country air race from Santa Monica in California to Ohio. These 20 aviatrixes, including Amelia Earhart, Evelyn "Bobbi" Trout, Mary Von Mach, Florence "Pancho" Barnes, Edith Foltz, Mary Haizlip & Opal Kunz, will fly by day & camp by night surviving many adventures & much excitement! One pilot with crash & burn, others will drop out & the death-defying few will make it to the finish line. As you read THE ROARING 20, with its newspaper headlines & photos, you will be transported back to a very different time & into a crowd of remarkable women. |
