Taking Flight: The Nadine Ramsey Story (DVD Documentary)

After her first solo flight in 1936, Nadine Ramsey was stunt-racing and barnstorming the Midwest, hoping for a career in aviation. The irrepressible young woman from Wichita had long been determined to fly, and the gathering storm clouds of World War II provided an unexpected opportunity. Taking Flight is the inspiring story of a girl from Depression-era Kansas who overcame tremendous challenges and defied convention to become an elite pilot—one of the few American women to fly fighter aircraft during World War II, helping clear the flight path for today's female combat and commercial aviators.
