An interesting cross between fiction and non fiction with most of the content of the story being true, but told in a fictional way - I enjoyed reading the ups and downs of the first women to try to cross the Atlantic by plane and all of the hoops they had to jump through just to potentially get the plane in the air.
The cast of characters was massive and with the common goal in mind it was hard at times to remember who was who and who they were working with. This was definitely a notepad kind of book and at times I was a little frustrated. In the first few chapters the ladies had their own chapters, but once they were all introduced their stories intermingled in each chapter, I am not sure I liked that. Only as an editing opinion, I would have liked shorter chapters with each of their stories more defined than having them weave in and out.
