About This Item
London: Hutchinson, 1990. D/J is good. The book is good, clean and tight. Sheila Scott was portrayed to the public during the 1960s and early 1970s as a glamorous and courageous record braking heroine of the air. One of the few pioneering pilots of her generation. This was the way she liked to see herself. In private she was rarely able to live up to her own public image, which she maintained against a personal background of loneliness and insecurity, fighting a constant battle against mental illness. Although these aspects of her extraordinary personality and experience remained hidden, they make her flying achievements all the more remarkable, including the first ever solo flight over the North pole. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Cloth. Good/Good.
