Description

1927. Flight fever is running high and daring flyers are all anyone can talk about. And now the Honourable Miss Elsie Mackay, glamorous former film star and regular name in gossip columns, has a new ambition – to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic.

The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay takes the moving story of a pioneering Scottish aviator and weaves in the threads of other women straining to reach for their dreams on the cusp of an uncertain future.
