Shooting Star: The First Attempt By A Woman To Reach Hawaii By Air (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466234451)

ADVANCE REVIEW: "As a crew chief on the US's first jet fighter, the P-80 "Shooting Star" and being stationed at Selfridge Field in Michigan, I was pleased to read the story of another Michigan native, Mildred Doran. The book is a great read for anyone with an interest in early aviation. My father, Mark Brann, the 3881st person to be licensed to fly in the US and who knew Harriet Quimby, the first female licensed pilot, would have loved this book."
