Description
"Ruth Law thrilled spectators in the 1900s by performing the loop-the-loop and other daredevil tricks in her flying machine. But after years of flying in circles, Law was determined to do what no pilot had ever done: fly nonstop from Chicago to New York City in one day. On a windy November morning, she took off on a flight that experts predicted was doomed to fail. Her flying machine was outdated, and no woman could endure such a grueling cross-country trip. Thats what the experts saidbut they didnt know Ruth Law. Heather Lang and R{250}al Co̤ln re-create a thrilling episode in aviation history that takes readers into the sky with courageous Ruth Law. Includes archival photographs and bibliography" --,Provided by publisher.
