Viola Gentry of Rockingham County, North Carolina, learned to fly in 1924 and quickly achieved greater heights. In 1925, the aviatrix took her first solo flight. The following year, she flew under the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and in 1928, she established the first officially recorded women's solo endurance flight record. She became the first federally licensed female pilot from North Carolina that same year. She was a national celebrity, and her job in a New York restaurant secured her the nickname the "Flying Cashier." Gentry became personal friends with fellow pioneers of aviation Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post and General James "Jimmy" Doolittle. After a near-fatal crash, Gentry focused her efforts on championing aviation for women and preserving its early history. Author Jennifer Bean Bower reveals the life of one of the great women in Tar Heel State history.

True evil comes not from the weakening of the body, but through the indifference of the soul. The crew of the Yellow Rover has definitely seen better days. Captain Sanhueza’s decision to split the team has turned out to be quite frankly, an unmitigated disaster. This dangerous new world, coupled with its relentless inhabitants, have made their arrival a living nightmare for the Alpha and Bravo teams. Lieutenant Biancuzzo seizes command, enlisting his top technicians to help him devise an exfiltration plan. The two techs work non-stop, decrypting the data found on the mysterious moon base that was built by an ancient alien civilization known as the Conesans. With practically no time to execute this daring rescue, Biancuzzo and company spring into action—invading the planet. The surviving members of the Alpha and Bravo teams are eventually brought safely back on board for a debrief, but not before enduring another ferocious battle for their lives. The events of this failed colonization are not lost on the crew as it remains unclear as to what their next move should be. Press forward further into the star system or return home to the Rover Base Alpha [and admit defeat]. With a familiar face emerging from the shadows, no one on the Yellow Rover is safe. Burdened by a relentless desire to heed the cull, it is only in death that the living can truly be free. ***For fans of the Red Rover, please note that this is not a YA novel. It was written to appeal to an adult audience.***

Daring aviators take the skies by storm in this historical romance filled with unconventional women--and the men strong enough to love them. Saint Louis, 1923. The golden age of flight has just begun, and pilot Mattie McAdams refuses to cede the skies to cocky flyboys. She longs to perform daring stunts in her family's flying circus, but the men in her life stand in her way--including the show's star performer, Leo Ward. They can wring their hands all they want; Mattie won't stay grounded for long. In the Great War, Leo Ward watched his best friend and Mattie's twin brother, Alfred, perish in the skies over German territory. Since then, he's vowed to protect the McAdams family, taking on the most perilous stunts himself. But the skies are too big for any one man. Mattie joins a female-dominated flying circus, kicking off a tantalizing aerial dance as the two pilots make efforts to one-up each other in the skies across America. As planes and passions soar, can Mattie and Leo look beyond their egos to see the great heights they might reach together?

From National Book Award–winner Michael J. Arlen and screenwriter Alice Arlen, here is the fascinating, adventurous life of Alicia Patterson, who became, at age thirty-four, one of the youngest and most successful newspaper publishers in America when she founded Newsday. With The Huntress, the Arlens give us a revealing picture of the lifestyle and traditions of the Patterson-Medill publishingdynasty—one of the country’s most powerful and influential newspaper families—but also Alicia’s rebellious early years and her dominating father, Joseph Patterson. Founder and editor of the New York Daily News, Patterson was a complicated and glamorous figure who in his youth had reported on Pancho Villa in Mexico and had outraged his conservative Chicago family by briefly espousing socialism. Not once but twice, first at age twenty, Alicia agreed to marry men her father chose, despite having her own more interesting suitors. He encouraged her to do the difficult training required for an aviation transport license; in 1934 she became only the tenth woman in America to receive one. Patterson brought her along to London to meet with Lord Beaverbrook, to Rome to meet Mussolini, and to Moscow in 1937, at the time of Stalin’s “show trials,” where a young George Kennan took her under his wing. Alicia caught the journalism bug writing for Liberty magazine, an offshoot of the Daily News. A trip to French Indochina highlighted her hunting skills and made the sultan of Johor an ardent admirer; another trip would involve India,the dangerous sport of pigsticking, several maharajas, and a tiger hunt. A third marriage, to Harry Guggenheim, blew hot and cold but it did last; it was with him that she started Newsday in a former car dealership on Long Island. Governor Adlai E. Stevenson, two-time Democratic candidate for president, would be one of her last admirers. With access to family archives of journals and letters, Michael and Alice Arlen have written an astonishing portrait of a maverick newspaperwoman and an intrepid adventurer, told with humor, compassion, and a profound understanding of a time and place.

The Aviatrix tells the inspiring story of Louise McPhetridge Thaden and of her triumphs and tragedies as one of the pioneering women pilots of the 1920s. The press called them "lady flyers" and "sweethearts of the air," but Louise referred to herself as an aviatrix.Born in 1905, on a farm in Bentonville, Arkansas, Louise attended college at the age of 15, changing her major three times over the next five years. She knew she was destined to do something important but didn't know what it was until she discovered the adventure of flight. Louise persevered through all of the hardships she encountered, from learning to master the controls of aircraft made out of wood and canvas, to fighting sexist critics who claimed that flying was a man's profession and women belonged in the home.Although The Aviatrix is a work of fiction, it includes many historical events, including the first Women's Cross-Country Air Race. It also includes well-known pilots Amelia Earhart, Florence "Pancho" Barnes, and Wily Post, as well as historical figures like Will Rogers and Howard Hughes. But, most of all, The Aviatrix is the story of one woman's courage to be the best at what she loved to do most in life, and that was to fly airplanes.
