WEST TO THE SUNRISE by Grace McAdams Harris

This is a wonderful true flying adventure story. Grace Harris relates some air racing stories in Europe that will leave you in disbelief, they are so harrowing. Well-written and fast-paced, this book carries you through her first flight in a "Jenny", her business career, to her first flight lesson in 1941, where she joined William Ong Aircraft Company as accountant. Harris was soon trained as a pylon racer, winning at the National Air Races in Cleveland in 1949. She was an officer of the National Aeronautics Association, an enthusiastic member of The Ninety-Nines, and a trustee of the International Women's Air and Space Museum when the planning for it began in 1976 as a project of The 99s. She received many honors throughout her long and productive life. She was president of Ong Aircraft Company when she died at the age or 91.
