Trailblazer in Flight: Britain's First Female Jet Airline Captain by Yvonne Pope Sintes

A warm and eloquent autobiography penned by a woman who, against all odds, managed to achieve a lifelong ambition. 'Breaking the glass ceiling' at a time when the landscape of both military and commercial aviation was largely dominated by men, she managed to command a career that put her on an equal footing with her male counterparts.
Yvonne flew BAC One-Elevens until her retirement to Menorca in 1980. Having returned to England in 2000, following the death of her second husband, she now lives in a retirement village in Surrey, alongside a number of ex-aviation professionals, including former pilots and airline traffic controllers.
