| Description: |
The period between the first and second world wars was a time of vast social change, much of it intimately linked with the spectacular technological advances of the day. In this colorful account, award--winning author Mike Walker explores one of the most fascinating of these connections that between the flying machines and womena s liberation. |
| Synopsis: |
This book follows the early years of women aviators from the end of World War I through the madcap years of the 1920s to the establishment of aviation as a serious part of defense and commercial activities during World War II. Award--winning writer Mike Walker writes about a time of immense social and technical change that radically transformed the position of women and became the golden years for the development of aviation. |
