Beyond the Powder: The Legacy of the First Women's Cross-Country Air Race

The history of the first women’s cross-country air race and the legacy today.

IMDbDocumentary

The first Women’s Air Derby was flown in 1929 with brave women making history by breaking into a competition that was thought to be for men only. They encountered sabotage, death, and all the difficulties of flying at the dawn of aviation. Today the Powder Puff Derby continues as the Air Race Classic. The modern-day racers carry out the legacy of the original racers with their adventurous spirit.
