Breaking Through The Clouds: The First Women's National Air Derby
The inspiring true story of 20 women who raced across America in 1929. With just a compass and a road map to guide them, Amelia Earhart and 19 other brave female pilots defied convention by taking to the skies and racing across the country in 1929 for the first WomenÂ’s National Air Derby to prove that flying was a safe mode of transportation and to show that women could indeed, fly. Facing cultural stereotypes, mechanical failures, threats of sabotage, navigational challenges and endless chicken dinners, the women became pioneering legends in aviation. Their story is inspiring to anyone who has the courage to follow their own dreams.
