Reviews
This is a high-interest biography of a woman who is less of a household name than her idol, Amelia Earhart, but no less gutsy and accomplished. - Booklist This often hair-raising tale not only rescues a major aeronautical feat from near-total obscurity, but presents an eye-opening picture of another era's gender roles and expectations. - Kirkus Reviews Nancy Roe Pimm's book makes me feel as though I am visiting with Jerrie again-every detail is there, just as Jerrie shared it with me. Jerrie was a gracious and competent American woman and an unexpected hero who gave closure to Amelia Earhart's quest. The personal story of our last tie to the golden age of aviation is beautifully presented. -Jill Nelson, retired U.S. Navy pilot and friend of Jerrie Mock Nancy Roe Pimm has captured Jerrie's essence and her voice. She shows my sister's passion for flying and for life. I'm thrilled to know her story will be shared with future generations, so they too will believe in their dreams as they get to know Jerrie, a true American hero. -Susan Reid, Jerrie Mock's younger sister
