Críticas:
"Colorful heroes who could handle anything except descrimination... A rousing tale."-- "New York Times Book Review""A well-deserved salute to the intrepid young women who answered the call of their country to risky duty in perilous times."-- "Kirkus Reviews"Vital to women's studies and aviation history."-- "Chicago Tribune"As Haynsworth and Toomey paint [these women], they seem to grow wings. Far-reaching in its scope, profound in its implications, this story reminds us of women we should never have forgotten in the first place. After reading it, we will never forget them again."--Lucinda Roy, author of "The Hotel Alleluia and "Lady Moses

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1942, with war raging on two fronts and military pilots in short supply, the U.S. Army Air Force enlisted a handful of skilled female aviators to deliver military planes from factories to air bases--expanding the successful program to include more than one thousand women. These superb pilots flew every aircraft in the U.S. Army Air Force--including B-26s when men were afraid to--logging more than siz million miles in all kinds of weather. yet when World War II ended, their wartime heroism was left unheralded. In 1961, with the dawn of the space age, a handful of top female pilots took part in a new program termed "Women in Space." Subjected to the same rigorous tests as the Mercury astronauts, thirteen women--top-notch pilots--were admitted to the program. Once again women had reason to dream.that at least oneof them would be the first of their sex in space. The matter went as far as Congress, where dramatic hearings included testimony from astronauts John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. But their hopes were dashed. These skilled aviators had the "right stuff" at the wrong time, and again women were denied their place in history. This is their story, one of courage, ferocity, adn patriotism.
