Octavo, white cloth & blue boards (hardcover), x, 334 pp. Good, with some underlining; in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: From 1942 to 1944, almost two thousand women pilots left their civilian lives as students, movie stuntwomen, secretaries, blackjack dealers, and wives with husbands overseas to converge on Avenger Field, Sweetwater, Texas. There, the only all-female cadet air base in history, they slipped into ill-fitting mens GI flying suits and marched into the Army Way of flife. Six months later, the Womens Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) were ready to fly every airplane in Americas air arsenal, from the colossal B-29 Superfortress to the lightning-fast P-51 Mustang fighter. These unsung heroines flew some of World War IIs most dangerous missions, many that men refused to perform. If there was a doubt in anyones mind that women can become skillful pilots, said the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, the WASPS have dispelled that doubt. But not before they were forced to fight for transition training to bigger airplanes, subjected to unnecessary physicals, even jailed, for being what they were -- the most adventurous superwomen of the war era. Over seventy of these air heroines were killed or injured, flying for their country. As well as relating the story of the WASPS, Sally Keil tells the romantic story of Americas entry into the Air Age. She recreates the era of barnstormers, biplanes and record-breaking air races, when our century was just awakening to the awesome potential of the airplane and Americas new role as world air power. It was an era wildly exuberant in its idolization of the heroes and heroines of the air -- Lindbergh, Byrd, Earhart, Cochran, whose stories are told here. The book is also a splendid history of World War II, the gretest mobilization of capabilities America has ever known -- and the worlds first air war, fought with the aid of these special women, who, along with their brothers, emerged from small-town obscurity to become the pilot elite of that war., Rawson, Wade Publishers, Inc., (1979).

[EAN: 9780312034313], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: St. Martin's Press, New York], LOVELL EARHART PUTNAM TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT AVIATRIX, Jacket, This book delves into the personalities of Amelia Earhart and George Palmer Putnam, her media-wise husband. Earhart's personality and character and the relationships with family and friends as they contributed to her accomplishments are the main thrust. The book also contains excerpts from Last Flight , Earhart's reworked logbook and notes on the fateful 1937 flight. Both books detail her life and the theories of her disappearance. They also clearly address Earhart's legacy: to dream what seems to be unattainable goals and then to acquire the skills and have the desire and determination to achieve them. Also, while Earhart is known today for her flying career and her mysterious disappearance, these books show her to be an early advocate of women's rights, equality, and world peace, who used her fame to help promote them. --The Library Journal.
