I am promoting a book with stories about gliding in Germany and England in the late '30s. However the point of this obvious spam is to benefit the ATA museum at Maidenhead. The entire 11 pounds will be theirs if you buy from them.

Naomi the Aviatrix is a book about a woman parachuting in Sir Alan Cobham's 1935 Air Circus and gliding in Germany and England until the War when she transported military aircraft. This book quotes directly from her diary and includes many of her pictures.
Naomi was famous for parachuting, but her great love was for soaring. Her first classes were with Eugen Wagner at the Hesselberg. The next year she flew at Darmstadt where she was the first British woman to earn the Silver C. Wolf Hirth then contracted with her to translate his book The Art of Soaring. In England Naomi taught gliding, and great effort was given to promoting the sport by lecturing and starting gliding clubs at new locations.

If you have a chance to visit the museum at Maidenhead you will find a Spitfire simulator which is extremely entertaining.
