Breaking Barriers in Aviation

The Agenda with Steve Paikin (Audio)

"Don't be silly! Girls can't fly." That's the message seven-year-old Lola Reid Allin heard from her father. More than 60 years later, she shares the highs and lows of her flying career, societal expectations of women of the time and how she's hoping to inspire the next generation of young women. She takes Jeyan Jeganathan up above the clouds to talk about her memoir, "Highway to the Sky: An Aviator's Journey."
