Inspirational stories of success from the first women pilots to fly airline and corporate aircraft.

Flying Above the Glass Ceiling takes us through the accomplishments of women flyers from the 1800s right through present day, noting their specific struggles of entering a man’s occupation and giving insight into what it was that kept them moving toward their dream. Giving us a glimpse of the personal stories of the first airline and corporate women pilots, their triumphs and disappointments, we are taught lessons that can apply to anyone persuing their chosen career.

The stories these women share, stories of perseverance and tenacity aligned with the highest degree of competence, best reflect the characteristics of all women who have challenged themselves to become aviators. Flying Above the Glass Ceiling creates role models for all aspiring commercial pilots to admire and follow. Those of us in the Ninety-Nines Organization of Women Pilots recognize the enormity of the steps they took and congratulates Nina for presenting real-life examples of the problems they faced and how they solved them.
