WIND IN MY FACE by GIadys Buroker.
Gladys' story begins with her childhood love of flight. Later,
her sense of adventure led her into parachute jumping and wing-walking
with a barnstorming group. She was teaching ground school at
an all male academy, St. Martin's College, when World War II
began. Gladys and her flight instructor husband moved their operations
to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho where they managed the first municipally-owned
airport in the United States. During the war, she taught military
cadets in all phases of their flight training, including aerobatics.
In the late 1960's, she helped
in the development of Henley Aerodrome at Athol, Idaho where
her new aviation feats included gliding and hot air ballooning.
Her book tells of her interesting
and active life. It is captivating, nostalgic, and inspirational.
She received many awards as a pioneer aviator. The most prestigious
include the Boeing Museum of Flight Hall of Fame and the State
of Idaho Aviation Hall of Fame.
Fran Bahr, writer and instructor
at North Idaho College collaborated with Gladys over the three
years it took to write this book.
