Flying Lessons: One Woman's Story

As a child growing up in Fargo, North Dakota in the 1950's, learning to fly was not even remotely on author Sherry Knight Rossiter's radar. In Flying Lessons: One Woman's Story, the author relates in a conversational style how she overcame personal fears, social barriers, and economic obstacles to become a professional airplane and helicopter flight instructor, an aviation ground school instructor, an U.S. Army helicopter pilot, and an aviation business owner. The author's primary goal is to entertain, but the book also educates and encourages readers, especially those who may have a secret desire to learn to fly.
