Jean Landis WASP Pilot: 2,500 Miles...Long Beach to Newark in a P-51 (Paperback) by Sarah Byrn Rickman
A youthful pioneer spirit and love of adventure led Jean Landis to volunteer to fly trainer and fighter aircraft for her country in wartime when she was desperately needed. Jean Landis WASP Pilot is Sarah Byrn Rickman's twelth book about the women pilots of WWII.

In doing so, she encourages them that they, too, can accomplish their dreams. –BETTY DARST, trustee emeritus National Aviation Hall of Fame, Dayton, Ohio.
