Born to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America by Steve Sheinkin

5.0

Non-fiction about the first women’s air derby and it brought tears to my eyes in places. I am so proud of these women for overcoming the challenges they had to overcome to prove that women belonged in the air just the same as men. This is non-fiction, but it reads as easily as fiction. The author moves the plot along and makes it exciting. I loved learning about all the different women flyers, their personalities, their backgrounds, and what drew them to aviation. I’ll be reading more by this author for sure. Highly recommend.
