A wonderful book: perseverance, faith, and flying

Revisado: 07-06-18

I originally was excited about this book because I grew up in a Republic Airlines/Northwest Airlines family and have been a Hughes Airwest fan for life. One of my first airline trips was on a Hughes Airwest 727 to Santa Anna when I was 3 years old. My dad retired from Northwest, and Hughes Airwest (RW) ultimately became a part of NWA. I figured Mary’s book would be a nice insight into Hughes Airwest and maybe Republic Airlines (bought Hughes Airwest in 1981) too. Her flying stories and adventures are wonderful. The surprising part though, is her telling of the horrible treatment, abuse, and harassment she encountered while working at RW; I had no idea things were do despicable for the first women airline pilots. As a professional pilot and father of a daughter, I was very sad to realize the treatment Mary encountered was beyond abuse, but rather torture, and that torture grounded her. I understand how Mary describes flying, and what taking flight means to her. I love how she says ”flying is an art form.” My daughter is only 4, but I am going to keep Mary’s book on my bookshelf for her to read one day. Mary’s message and story is one that all of society should read and understand... especially young ladies!
