Have you ever looked up into the sky, seen an airplane, and wondered
where it was going and who was flying it? Aviation is the study of the
design, development and production, and operation of aircraft. In
Aviation: Cool Women Who Fly, children ages 9 to 12 learn about this
fascinating field and meet three successful women working in aviation.
Meg Godlewski is a master certified flight instructor, Kristin Wolfe is
a pilot in the Air Force, and Taylor McConnell is a Production Support
Engineer.
Nomad Press books in the Girls in Science series supply a bridge between
girls' interests and their potential futures by investigating science
careers and introducing women who have succeeded in science. Compelling
stories of real-life aviation experts provide readers with role models
that they can look toward as examples of success.
Aviation: Cool Women Who Fly uses engaging content, links to primary
sources, and essential questions to whet kids' appetites for further
exploration and study of aviation. This book explores the history of
aviation, the women who helped pioneer flight, and the multitude of
varied careers in this exciting and important field. Both boys and girls
are encouraged to let their imaginations and dreams soar.
