(4) YA Profiles series. This well-researched tribute contains chapter-length biographies of six trailblazing female flyers, including Amelia Earhart and Beryl Markham, plus a chapter dedicated to modern-day legends such as Jeana Yeager. Although McLean discusses her subjects' battles with sexism, she's clearly more interested in describing and generating excitement about their accomplishments. Unfortunately, many of the book's photos, which span nearly one hundred years, are poorly reproduced.
