Host LeVar Burton introduces the book Ruth Law thrills a nation by Don Brown, which describes the record-breaking flight of a daring woman pilot from Chicago to New York in 1916. Also shows film clips of other pioneering women pilots, including Bessie Coleman, Amelia Earhart, and Jackie Cochran, and shows a modern 17-year-old black girl demonstrating how she has learned to fly a plane.
