Description: “Ruth Law, Daytona’s Pioneer Aviator, Her Place in Aviation History,” provides insight into a courageous and competitive woman, far ahead of her time.  She persevered in a “man’s world” to make aviation history, setting altitude and distance records and strived to put the hard-packed, sand landing strip of Daytona Beach, Florida, on the map.

This book also gives the reader insight into the world of aviation from Leonardo da Vinci’s early concepts in the 15th century to the International Space Station of the 21st century.

Through word and picture the birth and evolution of aviation history and its heroes is explored.
