Finished this audiobook that I received from LibraryThing early reviewer and Houston Mifflin Harcourt for an honest review. I enjoyed learning about all the women and men aviators who were very courageous during the 20's and 30's and even lost their lives while promoting aviation. This book mainly focuses on 5 women; Florence Klingensmith, Ruth Elder, Amelia Earhart, Ruth Nichols and Louise Thaden. Listen and hear how they raced against the men.

This was a book club book that I didn't finish. I just couldn't get into it. I'm sure it would have gotten more interesting as I got into the stories of the different women and their actual flying but the beginning was too choppy and there was nothing compelling me to keep reading.
