(2) 4-6 Scott, who could have been a carefree socialite, sold cars when women weren't supposed to work outside the home, and, in 1910, became the first woman pilot in the United States. This well-researched book is replete with Scott's breathless personal testimony and with effectively placed black-and-white photos. Cummins provides clear explanations of technical aspects but otherwise adopts a playful style. Bib., ind.
