In this excerpt from my interview with author Amy Shira Teitel about her book Fighting for Space: Two Women and Their Epic Battle for Female Spaceflight, we talk about Jerrie Cobb ferrying aircraft to Central and South America, and a forced landing after her prop seal failed leaving her windscreen covered in oil, in Jamaica that was the beginning of a love affair with Jack Ford.
