A LONG WHITE SCARF, FLYING WITH RIPLEY MILLER by Julia (Miller) Doten

 

A LONG WHITE SCARF, FLYING WITH RIPLEY MILLER by Julia (Miller) Doten. This biography details the life and career of Ripley Miller, an ahead-of-her-time 1960’s New England flight instructor and commercial pilot.

Ripley successfully balanced the tasks of raising a family, working as a pilot, promoting women in aviation, and being a leader in the International Organization of Women Pilots, The Ninety-Nines, Inc. - all while continually training herself toward greater flight accomplishments.

Her story of determination and hard work encourages others to strive toward their own goals - even against the odds - and gives us all a memorable glimpse into the past with vivid, nostalgic, and touching flashbacks through the eyes of her daughter.

“... a moving account of Ripley’s dedication to family and flying, obviously written with love and an understanding of the struggle women had in being accepted as pilots.”

Jean Batchelder, pilot and author of History & Heroes of New Hampshire Aviation
