(F) Carol Simon Levin presents "Nobody Owns the Sky: Fascinating Tales of Female Aviators"

Carol Simon Levin portrays Elinor Smith Sullivan to tell the stories of some of the early female pilots who risked their lives in flimsy wood and canvas aeroplanes but whose ground-breaking exploits were lost to history after Amelia Earhart’s famous disappearance.  Executing audacious acrobatic aerial maneuvers, soloing across the English channel, setting records, barnstorming and buzzing beneath New York’s bridges, they were determined to show that anything that men could do, they could do too!

Includes a paper airplane activity for families after the presentation.
