During the 1970s, female pilots on any continent were few and far between. Overcoming personal tragedy and limited schooling, Kucki von Gerlach attained her private pilot's licence in early 1969 at the age of 23, the first woman to do so in Namibia, then called South West Africa. She went on to become the first female commercial airline pilot in South Africa. Her entertaining memoir recounts her challenges, triumphs and joys of being a twentieth- century aviation pioneer. Share her high-flying adventures as she goes solo for the first time, makes a bumpy landing just before a thunderstorm hits, and narrowly avoids disaster when one of her students freezes at the controls. You'll be inspired by her determination, her passion and her indomitable spirit.
