The Roaring 20: The First Cross-Country Air Race for Women

by Margaret Whitman Blair

Adventure, excitement, and fearlessness take wing in the dramatic true story of the twenty aviatrixes who set off on the first Women's Cross-Country Air Derby in 1929. Superbly illustrated with duotone photographs, and featuring a detailed National Geographic map of the route, this book is the perfect starting place for research on a little-known topic.
