The Frenchwoman Jacqueline Auriol, the first woman to fly faster than sound. You and the American Jacqueline Cochran fought alternately as having the "fastest woman in the world". The German Hanna Reitsch was the first female airline pilot, flew the first woman to a helicopter and found more than 40 records on all classes and types of aircraft. Elly Beinhorn her compatriot led a legendary life and marked the beginnings of sporting aviation. The Russian Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space. This and other "Queens of the air from A to Z" from around the world dedicated to the same edition. It reports not only of bright successes, but also by painful events. Crashes lost many pilots - as Maryse Bastié, Amelia Earhart and Christa McAuliffe, Phoebe Omlie and Melitta Gräfin Schenk von Stauffenberg - and the balloon driver Madeleine Sophie Blanchard - her life. Is complemented by an extensive list Paperback with data of other famous female aviator, balloonist female passenger aircraft interior, parachute jumpers, while women and female cosmonaut. Like a common thread running through the Paperback how hard it was done by men before women, to learn the flying and take in air distance. Until recently pilots worldwide had suffered prejudice.
