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 1960s 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 Ripleys dedication to family and flying, obviously written with love and an understanding of the struggle women had in being accepted as pilots.
