"A well-written and well-researched volume which is highly absorbing and illuminating. A must for all aviation enthusiasts, male and female alike!" -- Aircraft Illustrated
"Cadogan's brisk book moves along on automatic pilot in the drama-packed pre-1945 years when flying was an adventure rather than an industry." -- The Observer
"Cadogan's enthusiasm for her subject makes this an enjoyable and fast-moving trek..." -- School Library Journal
