Visit our friend, director/film-maker Heather Taylor, and learn more, and hopefully purchase her wonderful film about Pancho Barnes, and the other aviatrix who participated in the 1929 Women's National Air Derby. This race, also known as the first Powder Puff Derby, was one of the most pivotal and significant events ever to take place in women's aviation. It was during this 1929 race that the daring participants showed the world that women can be independent, competitive, self-sufficient, intelligent, competent, graceful and really good pilots. BREAKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS: The First Women's National Air Derby is a documentary that showcases ACTUAL FOOTAGE of the 1929 air race. In addition, there are AERIAL RECREATIONS in the film using planes like the women flew in the derby including: TRAVEL AIR, WACO, MONOCOUPE AND FLEET.
