Sky Girls: The True Story of the First Women's Cross-Country Air Race

I love reading about women aviators and books that explore what women were doing in a time where we are taught that women were at home running families. Women were never just at home running families! Knowing that women have been flying almost as long as there have been airplanes should not be surprising, yet given how tough it was for WASP to get the recognition they deserve, any aviators prior to the 1940s definitely are under served. Except Amelia Earhart, though it is questionable if she would have ever been recognized if she had not disappeared.
That being said, this book focuses on too many aviators of the time that it becomes weighed down with facts and numbers rather than following a few aviators to create a narrative. It reads as more of a profile of the aviators rather than a narrative of the time period.
