When Joanne Simpson (1923-2010) was a girl, she sailed her boat beneath the puffy white clouds of Cape Cod. As a pilot, she flew her plane so high, its wings almost touched them. And when World War II began and Joanne moved to the University of Chicago, a professor asked her to teach Air Force officers about those very clouds and the weather-changing winds. After the first two arcs, the rest of the story focuses on the police trying to take down the King of Spades and figuring out who his moles are within the police. Along the way, we learn the full story behind JT's relationship with him. At times it was a bit hard to follow since there are so many names and references to previous incidents, but there were some thrilling twists along the way and the reader is constantly kept guessing who is helping which side. I had trouble putting the book down and had a couple of late nights because I was so drawn into the story that I couldn't stop reading. Po Yun es, oíganme bien, la mejor novela de crimen que he leído en mi vida. La trama es una delicia. Y, ah, cuando al fin lees el pasado de Jiang Ting, todo te hace clic. Her stubbornness was rewarded and eventually she was able to study the clouds and learned that they do have a purpose and can actually help meteorologists understand weather patterns and guide them in predicting the weather. Breaking Through the Clouds is completed, you can discover others if you have been done on reading this.

Despite growing up in a family of pilots and spending countless hours at local airports, Heather was amazed to learn as an adult that there was an entire community of female pilots who were contemporaries of Amelia Earhart. That omission of women's history set her on a new path to discover more. Following the advice of author Toni Morrison who said, "if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it,"Heather gathered the courage to leave her corporate job and created her production company Archetypal Images, LLC. Part of her mission is to capture and harness the light that comes alive in peoples’ eyes when they find inspiration and through example, encourage others to seek it for themselves. The women portrayed in Breaking Through the Clouds: The First Women’s National Air Derby are perfect role models for this objective.

Now three years later, Jiang Ting, whose flesh and bones should’ve faded from existence after death in the line of duty, actually miraculously woke up from a vegetative state. Being a female pilot in 1929 came with it's own set of unique obstacles. Not only did women have to continually prove their skills, they had to defend their wardrobe since wearing pants was distinctly unfeminine.Aviation was still in its' infancy with planes basically made of wood, fabric, and an often unreliable motor.There was no GPS. No radios. Just the pilot, the roar of the motor, and the clouds in the sky.If you were lost, you landed in an open field and asked a surprised farmer for direction.The women in the derby were essentially test pilots flying in all out speed race pushing the planes, each other, and the public’s perception of what was possible.These brave contestants embodied the enthusiasm of the era while promoting a purpose bigger than themselves. They combined their passion and transferred their dreams to the world, becoming symbols of hope for a nation between two World Wars.

One of the things I really liked about the way Joanne's life was presented were the many weather related metaphors that the author used. It's a wonderful way to get kids to understand not just metaphors, but also a topic about which they may have no other knowledge. For example: "By the time Joanne was ten, she had learned her mother's words could be icier that the coldest winds." As soon as the war ended, Joanne decided to seriously study the clouds she had grown to love so much. Her professors laughed. They told her to go home. They told her she was no longer needed. They told her, "No woman ever got a doctorate in meteorology. And no woman ever will."

While there certainly were cries that women shouldn't fly during this time, the story of the derby is much deeper and more significant than being female and racing.Instead of listening to those who said it couldn’t be done, these ambitious pilots chose to find a way by joining forces, collaborating, and creating a community to support the industry and each other.The fact that twenty ordinary young women could accomplish extraordinary achievements through their own convictions and passion is a lesson we can learn from today. an enjoyable and mildly satisfactory read. loved how all the cases were intricately woven together. the characterization was pretty good and the pacing was just right, absolutely perfect for this novel. i liked that good balance of intense action, investigation and thrill with a tap of mystery. the twists and turns caught me off guard here nd there but tbh, the flow was great so i wasn't "surprised" by half of the things but the plot points went over really smoothly and i like good writing so i won't complain that i predicted a couple things. the aesthetic of the setting was so obvious i just cant not predict half the things. nonetheless, the story was good. it held my attention. that is enough.

This picture book biography for older readers is a fascinating and inspiring look at the life of Joanne Simpson. Faced with all kinds of negativity that might have prevented someone a little less stubborn from achieving their dreams, Joanne is a shining example of determination and persistence. In other words, stubbornness. Heather Taylor is the foremost authority on the First Women’s National Air Derby. She is the writer, producer, director, and researcher of the award-winning documentary Breaking Through the Clouds: The First Women’s National Air Derby, which is currently airing on PBS stations across the country. BTTC has won more than a dozen awards, including top honors at film festivals. Heather is also the recipient of the prestigious Combs Gates Award from the National Aviation Hall of Fame, which was presented to her by Harrison Ford, Eugene Cernan, and six additional aviation legends of today.The story of the derby was largely untold until Heather produced her film.Who among us hasn't spent time as a child laying in the grass, looking up at the sky and gazing at the clouds floating by? I know I have and so did young Joanne Simpson. For Joanne, the cloud watching offered an a respite from her mother's cold, harsh words, criticizing her for being so stubborn. But, it was that stubbornness that carried Joanne through to achieve her dream of studying clouds. Attending college at the University of Chicago finally gave her a real escape from her mother, and just before WWII, famed meteorologist Carl-Gustaf Rossby arrived in the US and taught Joanne enough about weather to allow her to teach officers about it for the war effort. Jiang stopped carrying a bowl in one hand and supported his forehead in the other, patienty listening to his bullshit. Joanne Simpson escaped the harshness at home by spending time outside in her boat watching the clouds. As she grew older, she knew she wanted to learn more about the clouds and went to school to learn meteorology. But, she was told there was no chance a woman could get a doctorate in meteorology and there was no reason to be studying clouds. But, Joanne was stubborn and didn’t give up.
