This is the barnstorming story of Phoebe Omlie, a daring female pilot and aviation icon second only to Amelia Earhart. Aviation pioneer Phoebe Fairgrave Omlie (1902-1975) was once one of the most famous women in America. In the 1930s, her words and photographs were splashed across the front pages of newspapers across the nation. The press labelled her "Second only to Amelia Earhart." Omlie began her career in the early 1920s when aviation was unregulated and open to those daring enough to take it on, male or female. She earned the first commercial pilot's licence issued to a woman and became a successful air racer. In "Walking on Air", author Janann Sherman, using interviews, contemporary newspaper articles, archived radio transcripts, and other archival materials, creates a complex portrait of a daring aviator struggling for recognition in the early days of flight.
