Biography of a Pioneer Aviator Smith-Daugherty. This revealing biography brings to light the numerous "firsts" of Jacqueline Cochran who, while not as popular as Amelia Earhart, is just as significant to the history of women in aviation. In a life filled with hundreds of amazing achievements, Cochran even became the first woman to fly a bomber over the Atlantic, the first woman to go "supersonic" in a jet aircraft, and the first pilot to fly above 20,000 feet with an oxygen mask. 221 pages, 6"x 9", softcover. #0032948
