Read More
An account of many people who made important contributions to aviation but who never achieved the level of fame of Yeager, Glenn, or Earhart. The authors focus on WWII's Women's Airforce Service Pilots and Dr. Randolph Lovelace's "Women in Space" program which made it as far as Congress in July of 1962, but failed to put a woman into space (the Soviets accomplished this the following year).
