Publisher's Synopsis
Helicopter Pilot in the Making tells the story of how Mary Ellen Pauli became a pilot in 1979, forty five years ago. Young readers will be inspired by a woman who refused to be held back by society's expectations and proved that, with determination, anyone can reach their dreams. Growing up in the 1960s, Mary Ellen never thought she could follow in her father and brothers' footsteps as a pilot. But her mother's words, "Where there's a will, there's a way," gave her the strength to defy stereotypes and pursue her passion for flying.
