Exuberance by Dolores Hayden

Before it became a mode of public transportation, aviation was a frontier that attracted only the most daring pioneers, names lost in the long shadow cast by celebrities like the Wright brothers. Poet Dolores Hayden gives voice to these women and men, barnstormers who fashioned a living from their exploits on the early flying machines. The result is a composite picture not only historically accurate but insightful, intriguing, full of wonder.
