There haven’t always been planes in the sky.

Planes are frequent sights in our skies today. In the early years of the 20th century they were new, exciting – dangerous even. 

Betty Greene was one of the early women to learn to fly these amazing new machines. After World War 2, Betty helped to set up an organisation that used aircraft to support mission work – she was the first pilot for Mission Aviation Fellowship. In Latin America, Africa and Irian Jaya, Betty Greene flew her aircraft with courage and skill, all the while trusting God to keep her and her passengers safe.

The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today.  This gripping and astonishing story from Irene Howat will challenge young readers to trust God as Betty Greene did.

A well–known and long–standing series:

• Over 50 titles
• Great for ages 9 to 14
• Published in 14 languages
• Half a million books sold
• Also available in box sets when one book is not enough! 7 themed box sets, each with 5 books
