Description

This concise history charts the development of women's involvement in aviation, from the early days to the present day. It explores how American and British women broke into a predominantly male-dominated field.

The book examines the experiences of female aviators throughout history, including those who paved the way for future generations such as Amy Johnson and Amelia Earhart. It also looks at the role of women in aviation during times of war and the significant progress made towards equality in the decades that followed.

From obtaining pilot's licenses to becoming astronauts, this book provides a clear introduction to the growth of American and British women's roles in aviation over time.
