Book Description

"Not long ago, young women with mile-high dreams were limited to flying the skies only as passengers or flight attendants. But aviation has always progressed because of the dreams of its pioneers. Meryl Getline is one of those pioneers. She dreamed of being a pilot. She was never content to merely ride the plane, she wanted to fly it, too. Certain that she had the "right stuff", Meryl decided at a time when there was little or no opportunity for women, that she was going to be a captain for a major airline. Facing monumental challenges and against near-impossible odds, Meryl succeeded at her goal."--Publisher description.
