McSally, Martha, 1966-

Dare to fly : simple lessons in never giving up / Martha McSally. - First William Morrow paperback edition. - 279 pages ; 21 cm

"Martha McSally is an extraordinary achiever who overcame adversity, starting with her father's death when she was twelve. Rejected from Air Force flight school for being too short, she refused to give up, and ultimately became the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and command a fighter squadron in U.S. history. During her twenty-six-year military career, she fought the Pentagon on behalf of American servicewomen-- and won. A rape and sexual assault survivor, she advocates for victims. In this powerful, uplifting book, McSally reflects on successes and failures, shares guiding principles, and reveals how to break barriers, thrive through darkness, and make a difference."--Back cover
