This title explores the scope of women's activities in aviation,
from the time of the Wright Brothers to the present day. After
highlighting the earliest female aviators, as well as the
trailblazers of the inter-war period such as Amy Johnson and Amelia
Earhart, the book goes on to examine the experience of women in
aviation during the Second World War, including those flying with
the Air Transport Auxiliary and the American Women Airforce Service
Pilots. The post-war years are also covered and the title
emphasises the growth in women's participation in civil and
military spheres of aviation - by the last decades of the twentieth
century, women had progressed even further, undertaking many of the
jobs previously reserved for men, including space flight and combat
flying. From the earliest women to obtain pilot's licenses to the
female astronauts of the modern day, this is a concise introduction
to the development of British and American women's roles in
aviation.
