Women have been safely falling from great heights using parachutes for over three hundred years. The Early Years is the first volume of this five-part series on the history of Ladies of Skydiving.
This first volume, The Early Years, covers the era from 1799 to 1942. Jeanne-Genevi?ve Garnerin, the first lady to jump, actually drop in a basket under a parachute, plus innovators such as K?the Paulus, Tiny Broadwick and Adeline Gray are profiled alongside the lady daredevils and record-setters. Moreover, the progression of parachuting techniques and equipment is examined.
