  Since the dawn of aviation, the industry has been led by men, who have monopolized the aviation market in its various branches at least that’s what many believe. The truth is that since the beginning of the aviation era, women have played a significant role at every stage of aviation history. However, due to cultural differences, the male gender has always been more prominently associated with aviation and its environment. 
  	A century after the birth of aviation as we know it today, women have earned a place that is now one of the pillars of the industry, alongside men. Today, women hold similar roles to men in various aviation operations not just as pilots, but also as ground personnel, flight dispatchers, combat pilots, astronauts, and dozens of other positions. 
  	In this work, you will discover the lives and achievements of the leading female figures who have shaped aviation history but have remained unnoticed for decades. A narrative of great stories behind great women who helped shape the aviation world as we know it today.

  The Doomsday Flight

  In 1971, a time before metal detectors and body scans, a single man boards an Air Canada DC-8 flight with a sawed-off shotgun, 54 sticks of dynamite, a parachute and a desperate plan for a $1.5 million ransom. But it's the two twisted wires in an ordinary Woolco shopping bag that will hold an entire plane hostage. 
  Trapped at 37,000 feet, flight attendant Mary Dohey becomes an unwilling participant in a deadly game, forced to hold live detonator wires for hours. One wrong move, one trembling hand, and the aircraft could explode. Around her, passengers wrestle with their own mortality while the hijacker, Paul Cini, plays a high-stakes game of psychological warfare with authorities on the ground. 
  But in this meticulously researched true-crime thriller, nothing is quite what it seems. As the FBI, Air Canada and the flight's crew race against time to prevent disaster, the truth behind Cini's elaborate deception slowly unravels—revealing an even more chilling reality about how vulnerable we all are to the power of suggestion. 
  "The Doomsday Flight" masterfully weaves together the intense drama of a hijacking, the psychological complexity of human nature, and the fascinating history of an era when the skies were a lawless frontier. Drawing from extensive interviews, photographs, newspaper archives, and witness accounts, which are all included in the book, this heart-pounding narrative puts readers in the cabin alongside passengers and crew as they face what they believe to be their final hours. 
  Taking place just days before the copycat infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking, this is perfect for fans of "Captain Phillips", "The Taking of Pelham 123" and "Air Force One". This unforgettable story exposes how the most dangerous weapons aren't always the ones we can see.
