(4) K-3 Illustrated by C. F. Payne. The fictionalized account of Harriet Quimby's flight across the English Channel in 1912 is both intriguing and exciting. Payne's illustrations of the first American woman to earn a pilot's license are at their best when showing how small and fragile Quimby's plane was compared to the vast sky and ocean, but the first-person account would be considerably strengthened by source notes or a bibliography.
