These women are custodians of the power and majesty of flight.</p><p><br></p><p>Among these inspiring characteristically dry and often amusing poetic insights Pauwels has woven a selection of profound and previously unpublished poetry written by the greatest aviatrix of all time Amelia Earhart.</p><p><br></p><p>Again in this latest of book of the Beyond Haiku series beautiful illustrations by children of pilots aged 7-17 bring the richness of the aviators' words even further to life.</p><p><br></p><p>All proceeds from Women Pilots Write Poetry go to fund aviation scholarships for aspiring women aviators.</p>
