Woman AchieverA Novel

Jackie Johnson was no pussycat. Born with more than her share of energy, she soon blossomed out with a curiosity that seemed endless. She dreamed of being a pilot. Her dreams and ambitions met many obstacles, but she was determined to achieve. These trials in life were interlaced with love. Her lifetime goals were sometimes derailed by other suitors, even by famous
people. But even in that department, she was an achiever.
Jackie was a woman very much ahead of her time. She led a dramatic career as a bomber pilot during W.W. II with the R.A.F., and encountered many dangers, including being shot down over France. After the war she went on to spearhead an international project in the field of civil engineering.
Woman Achiever is a novel full of adventure, challenge and remarkable twists and turns navigated by a woman who was determined to win.
