Roy and Peggy Prescott were orphans living in the care of their aunt, Miss Prescott, the location of whose home on Long Island has already been described. At school Roy had imbibed the arial fever, and after many vicissitudes had built a fine monoplane, the Golden Butterfly, with which he had won a big money prize, besides encountering a series of extraordinary arial adventures. In these Peggy participated, and on more than one occasion was the means of materially aiding her brother out of difficulties. All this part of their experiences was related in the first volume of this series, The Girl Aviators and the Phantom Airship.

""Only typical Westerners don't protect their delicate complexions from dust with cold cream, " laughed Peggy, holding up a finger reprovingly. "As if any beauty magazine won't tell you it's a woman's duty to take the greatest care of her complexion, " parried Jess. "Roy and I have been sitting out on the observation platform on the last coach-that is, we sat there till the dust drove us in. " She shook the folds of a long, light pongee automobile coat she wore and a little cloud of dust arose. They all coughed as the pungent stuff circulated. "

Only seven years had passed since the Wright brothers' illustrious maiden flight, providing a fascinating view into the early aviation frenzy. Astonishingly, a teenage girl should be in it. There are various places in the novel when the author makes overt statements about how unfairly girls and women are treated, but these statements are subtly refuted. The author relies on ""feminine"" stereotypes by portraying Peggy as overly sentimental, ""naturally"" adept at nursing skills, and too quick to let her brother take credit for the things she'd done. This is even though Peggy is depicted as a budding suffragette who protests that women and girls should be given the same opportunities and prize money as men and boys in the air races. Despite the author's efforts to portray Peggy as the genuine ""new"" girl, Jess, Peggy's companion, exhibits a more persistent sense of independence.

Women run wind tunnel experiments, direct air traffic, and fabricate airplanes. American women have been involved with flight from the beginning, but until 1940, most people believed women could not fly, that Amelia Earhart was an exception to the rule. World War II changed everything. "It is on the record thatwomen can fly as well as men," stated General Henry H. Arnold, commanding general of the Army Air Forces. The question became "Should women fly?" Deborah G. Douglas tells the story of this ongoing debate and its impact on American history. From Jackie Cochran, whose perseverance led to the formation of the Women's Army Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II to the recent achievements of Jeannie Flynn, the Air Force's first woman fighter pilot and Eileen Collins, NASA's first woman shuttle commander, Douglas introduces a host of determined women who overcame prejudice and became military fliers, airline pilots, and air and space engineers. Not forgotten are stories of flight attendants, air traffic controllers, and mechanics. American Women and Flight since 1940 is a revised and expanded edition of a Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum reference work. Long considered the single best reference work in the field, this new edition contains extensive new illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography.

This is an excellent biography of a well known WWI German war hero. People can find examples of his renown in American pop fiction. For example, Snoopy from the popular comics often flies his doghouse and attempts to shoot down the noble red baron, Manfred Von Richthofen. Of course, true to form, Snoopy's aero-doghouse adventures always ended in disaster for the flying dog ace, and the red Baron always flew away triumphantly. In truth, none of the Red Knight's victims ever flew away again. They either found their end in flames, or riddled with bullets, or smashed impacting the earth, or taken as a prisoner of war. This book offers some unique insights into the baron's life and one can see through letters to his mother and visits with his father (who held the rank of Major in the German army) what made the man tick. German life in the early 1900s was one of glory forged in war. It was an honor to die for one's country, and parents were proud to sacrifice their youth to defend their way of life. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy short books, or are interested in WWI, or people interested in German history, or those who like war books, or those who have interests in antiquated flying machines. There's a lot to enjoy in this book, and it truly maps out a life we are currently unfamiliar with. People truly did admire their enemies at one time. This book captures the combination of love, hate, reverence, fear, respect, and loathing that warfighters share for their enemies. (Jerimy Stoll) About the Author: Floyd Phillips Gibbons (July 16, 1887 - September 23, 1939) was the war correspondent for the Chicago Tribune during World War I. One of radio's first news reporters and commentators, he was famous for a fast-talking delivery style. Floyd Gibbons lived a life of danger of which he often wrote and spoke. Gibbons began as a police reporter on the Minneapolis Daily News in 1907, but was fired. He also worked for the Milwaukee Free Press and the Minneapolis Tribune. While working for the Tribune in 1910, he was arrested for cutting a telegraph line in Winter, Wisconsin to prevent other newspapers from reporting a story first. He moved to the Chicago Tribune in 1912. He became well known for covering the Pancho Villa Expedition in 1916. He became a London correspondent for the Chicago Tribune in 1917 and reported on the 1917 torpedoing of the British ship RMS Laconia, on which he was a passenger. The Chicago Tribune appreciated his keen eye for detail, and vivid splashy style. It sent him to England to cover World War I. As a correspondent at the Battle of Belleau Wood, France. Gibbons accompanied the Fifth Marines where his account of the battle that he submitted violated wartime censorship by mentioning that he was serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. Gibbons' colourful prose added to the reputation of the Marines. Gibbons lost an eye after being hit by German gunfire at Château-Thierry in June 1918 while attempting to rescue an American marine. Always afterwards he wore a distinctive white patch on his left eye. He was given France's greatest honor, the Croix de Guerre with palm, for his valor on the field of battle. ... (Wikipedia.og)
