Betty Greene

You may never have heard of Betty Greene, but any budding young aviators will want this book: she helped to set up MAF, and was in fact their first pilot! She was also the first woman to fly over the Andes! Set out with succinct text and beautiful pictures, there’s a fuller bio at the back of each of these books. Beautifully presented in hardback, it makes a lovely gift which will be enjoyed again and again.
