ABOUT "FLYING JENNY"

Jenny Flynn defies the odds and convention. "You can't fly in a skirt," she snaps in response to a question from Laura Bailey, an equally brash young woman who is crashing through her own glass-ceiling reporting for a tabloid newspaper. In "Flying Jenny," the two continually clash as Laura chases the story cross-country following Jenny's barnstorming escapades.

A vivid and exciting portrait of an earlier time when airplanes were such a thing of wonder that crowds of spectators swarmed onto runways for a dangerous view of the exploits of the men − and women − pioneers of flight.
