Description

Soar beside Black Hawk helicopter pilot turned politician Tammy Duckworth, hot-air balloonist Edgora McEwan, and medevac pilot Dede Murawsky. Meet military and commercial aviators, such as the Coast Guard's Ronaqua Russell, the first Black woman to receive the prestigious Air Medal, and Tammie Jo Shults, who successfully landed Southwest flight 1380 after a catastrophic engine failure. And reach beyond the bounds of Earth to learn of astronauts conducting critical science experiments aboard the International Space Station. These courageous women are dreamers and doers who believed, despite the odds, that soaring is possible. Book jacket.
