Summary

Betty Greene coaxed her Grumman seaplane to two thousand feet..... Suddenly, silence—total silence. The plane engine had stopped! Her passengers gasped, but Betty knew she must remain calm. They had only a slim chance for survival: the twisting jungle river below them.

As a young girl growing up on the shores of Lake Washington Betty Greene had two passions: a love for Christ and a love of flying. As a young World War ll WASP pilot, Betty dreamed of combining her two passions by using wings to serve God. Betty's dream became reality when she helped found the Mission Aviation Fellowship. Her faith-filled adventures and faithful service helped create what is today a global ministry that operates over eighty aircraft in nineteen countries.

A Soaring Story

The amazing life of Betty Greene is an inspirational story well worth listening to. In a time when the role of a woman in the work place was limited, she literally and figuratively rose above to make her dreams of piloting aircraft and serving God into a reality. Rebecca Gallagher does a wonderful job with her narrating of the story in a clear, pleasant voice. In addition, as usual, Janet and Geoff Benge have masterfully shared an intriguing missionary life with their readers.

Wonderful and exciting biography!

This is a wonderful and exciting biography of Betty Greene, one of female pioneers in the aviation world! She was a dedicated Christian who served during WW2. She then was led by God to use her flying experience to serve missionaries around the world. This is another fascinating book written by the Benges that captures child and adult imaginations as they artfully tell the history of a wonderful Christian woman. Her adventures and dramas are exciting to the end with so much history, culture, and politics that educate as well interest. Another awesome book!
