Von der hinteren Coverseite

North Carolina was the site of the first powered airplane flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. Only ten years later, the state could also claim the first parachute jump by a woman, Tiny Broadwick. This fascinating biography follows Tiny as she joins a carnival and travels the entire country parachuting from airplanes and hot air balloons.

Elizabeth Roberson teaches United States history and Western civilization at Martin Community College and East Carolina University in North Carolina.
