The fascinating, true story of the extraordinary Jackie (Jacqueline) Cochran. Cochran was born into extreme poverty in Florida in about 1908 and received only two years of formal education as a child. In 1932, after having established a cosmetics business, she met wealthy industrialist-financier Floyd Odham (who would soon become her husband) who suggested that she learn to fly in order to conduct her business successfully. From that beginning, her unique and extraordinary life as an aviator quickly took shape. At the time of her death, she held more records as a pilot than anyone in history.
