Book description
"A tale of adventure, courage and defiance, Fearless evokes the drama of the pioneering age of flight in dangerous detail, while providing a pacy and engaging tribute to the heroism of the first woman who dared to rise so high above her given lot more in life."-- Clare Mulley, author of The Spy Who Loved"Amelia Earhart, move over. There's a new first lady of the skies. Award-winning journalist Don Dahler has brought the invincible-and virtually unknown-Harriet Quimby to rip-roaring life in his invaluable new biography, Fearless. You'll find yourself speed-reading through the pages, more to find out what she didn't do, at a time when women were able to do so little. And the final pages of the book kick up with Chariots of Fire-like suspense as she races to become the first woman to fly herself across the English Channel. Quimby-and Dahler-win the race with this riveting new book."-- Kim Powers, author of The History of Swimming and Rules for Being DeadWhen a book truly grabs you and flies your mind's eye to places you've never imagined, there is far more than exhilaration to the experience--it becomes a grand and memorable adventure. Don Dahler's FEARLESS is such a book, a page-turning trip through the brief but extraordinary life of Harriet Quimby, a consummate journalist and writer, adventurer, and the holder of American pilot's license number 37. But vicariously sharing the rickety cockpit of a 1909 Bleriot XI monoplane with Harriet is only part of the thrill of this beautifully written work. Watching a determined and capable young woman evolve is the real adventure, and the very valid reason why you should indulge in her story." - John J. Nance, New York Times bestselling author and Aviation Analyst, ABC World News""A fascinating and consequential look at a pioneering turn-of-the-20th-century woman who lived life on her own terms. Fearless is indeed the right title for Harriet Quimby. Dahler's telling of Quimby's life story and validation of her as a multi-spectrum pioneer is welcome research." - Dorothy S. Cochrane, Curator, General Aviation/Aeronautics Department National Air and Space Museum, ""Fearless moves as fast as Quimby flew....Mr. Dahler has done Harriet Quimby justice and given us a stirring account of an aviation pioneer and the exhilarating birth of flight."- The Wall Street Journal"Harriet Quimby was a reporter, theater critic, screenwriter, and aviatrix prior to her untimely death at 37 in a 1912 plane crash. She also became the first woman to fly across the English Channel only three months before her death. This straightforward biography takes advantage of the thrilling, glamorous realms Quimby moved through, dropping all sorts of famous names and describing glittering celebrity parties and the adoring crowds who greeted her at airports."- Booklist Online jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
