About the author

Ryan Ann Hunter is really two people writing together--Pamela D. Greenwood and Elizabeth G. Macalaster. We met at a writing group in New Jersey, though now we live on either side of the country. Award-winning picture books on technology and transportation led us to discover brave female pilots. In our latest book, we've pulled back the curtain on female spies. We share a common goal that girls not get left behind in exciting and daring opportunities.

[The Brothers · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice little history of flying things. Where we've come and where we're going when it comes to air travel.

Nice illustrations.
