Wally Funk's Race for Space: The Extraordinary Story of a Female Aviation Pioneer
by Sue Nelson
- Used
- Hardcover
Chicago Review Press, 2018. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This biography chronicles the accomplishments of Wally Funk, a member of the Mercury 13, a group of American women pilots who finished NASA�s 1961 Women in Space program. While the book gives many details on her participation in the program, it also covers her career as an aviation inspector and civilian flight instructor after the privately-funded Women in Space program was canceled before any of the women had a chance to go into space, and explains why the program was cut off. Taking her story into the 21st century, author Sue Nelson travels with Funk, now age 80, to revisit milestones in the history of her career and the history of aviation and space exploration, in the US and in Europe, in 2016 and 2017. B&w historical photos are included. In 1997, author Nelson made a radio documentary about Funk and Mercury 13 called Right Stuff Wrong Sex. Distributed by Independent Publishers Group.

Wally Funk was among the Mercury 13, the first group of American pilots to complete NASA's 1961 Women in Space program. Funk breezed through the rigorous physical and mental tests, her scores beating those of many of the male candidates-even John Glenn.
