AVIATION / BIOGRAPHY / WOMEN’S
STUDIES

A Hunger for the Sky
is a collection of women pilot
biographies, authored by Sparky Barnes Sargent and published by DGA Enterprises,
Inc. The book features the personal stories of nine women who are irresistibly
drawn to the sky.
These women range in age from 98 to
28, and they include a professional skywriter,
airline first officer, DC-3 captain, Guinness World Record holder, and owners/operators of a gliderport and an aerobatic school.
Each
chapter is devoted to one woman; the reader will have the rare opportunity to
learn who these women were as young girls, follow them into adulthood, learn
about their attraction to aviation, and discover the ensuing “skyways” they have
chosen.
