Sharpie: The Life Story of Evelyn Sharp--Nebraska's Aviatrix

Born to parents who marry to give their baby a name, Evelyn Genevieve Sharp is adopted when only two months old. A move to the Nebraska Sandhills and an overdue room and board bill during Depression Times put her in the front seat of an Alexander Flyabout. She is a "natural," earning her private, commerical, and instructor's rerating by age 20. Sharpie is the biography of an early barnstorming pilot who became one of the first women to ferry US Army Airforce fighters during World War II. It is the life story of a woman who gave her life for her country.
