In October 1944 Nadine Ramsey was thirty-three and she was flying the cutting-edge P-51 Mustang to New Jersey, its last stop before heading to the war in Europe. The irrepressible young woman from Wichita had long been determined to fly and the gathering storm clouds of World War II had provided an unexpected opportunity. Taking Flight is the inspiring story of a girl from Depression-era Kansas who overcame tremendous challenges and defied convention to become an elite pilot--one of the few American women to fly fighter aircraft during World War II.

Taking Flight follows Nadine as she became one of 1,102 women to join the Women's Airforce Service Pilots and one of only 303 WASPs to take to the skies in military cockpits, transporting aircraft to bases across the nation for use in the theaters of war. This book marks her milestones: the first Kansas woman to earn a commercial pilot license; among the earliest women to fly the US Air Mail; one of only 26 WASPs who flew the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a fighter aircraft--and the first woman to own one; the only woman in the country to instruct male pilots to fly fighter planes after the war. Disbanded in late 1944 to make way for male pilots and barred from piloting for commercial airlines, the WASPs spent the next three decades fighting to win veteran status.

Taking Flight: The Nadine Ramsey Story is a profile in courage of a woman who helped clear the flight path for today's female combat and commercial aviators.

Easy to sublimate. The spinners soaked in the ink colors beautifully. Easy to open for spin display too. I would purchase again. Good price and the size was correct. Quality was good for the item to be gifted.

Sub well, flimsy, no cello bags included for resellers!
Number of Items: 10
Sublimate well at 300 degrees for 60 seconds; however, they are definitely Flimsy as compared to smaller spinners and for some reason they are putting 5 to a cello bag! Which means if you are making to resell, you will need to buy cello bags!! This is the first time I've experienced this in hundreds of wind spinners purchased for sublimation. This is a big deal to me because I can't find 10x10 cello bags (and I shouldn't have to) so now my bags will not be the accurate size for the spinner as all of my others are because I sell them!

Exceptional
Size: 22, Size: 22
Great quality and price. Monitors are exceptional. Would buy again without question. Screens are quite resilient, great picture. I bought three and use them in a multi Monitor setup for my work laptop, I needed something to view wireing diagrams and scan tool information qt the same time. If your a Service Technician looking for a multi Monitor set up would strongly recommend this Monitor.

Great product and great price
Size: 22
I think the negative thing I can highlight is the pixel dentist isn’t that high so it doesn’t look as crisp but this is a great budget option when you are in a hurry (like me) or simply need a screen that does its job. I use it for home office and it’s more than enough.
