Aerial Vagabond

Aerial Vagabond is an autobiography written by Bessie Owen, an American aviator who made a name for herself in the early days of aviation. The book chronicles her life from her childhood in rural Missouri to her adventures as a barnstormer and stunt pilot in the 1920s and 1930s. Owen was one of the few women pilots of her time, and her story offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of early aviation. She describes her experiences flying in air shows, performing dangerous stunts, and traveling the country in a biplane. The book also delves into Owen's personal life, including her relationships with other pilots and her struggles with gender discrimination in the aviation industry. Aerial Vagabond is a fascinating and inspiring account of a pioneering aviator who defied societal norms and blazed a trail for future generations of women pilots.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
