Summary:
The 1929 Air Derby was the first women's air race across the U.S. Meet the trailblazers: Amelia Earhart, who has captivated generations; Marvel Crosson, who built a plane before she even learned how to fly; Louise Thaden, who shattered jaw-dropping altitude records; and Elinor Smith, who at age seventeen made headlines when she flew under the Brooklyn Bridge. The Derby was a suspenseful, nail-biting race across the country, and Sheinkin brings to life the glory and grit of the dangerous and thrilling early days of flying. -- adapted from jacket
