This Emmy-winning documentary examines the life and downfall of one of the most colorful female pilots in history. Swaggering, ill-behaved and forceful, Florence ''Pancho'' Barnes was a daring stunt pilot who shattered Amelia Earhart's speed record. In the 1940's, Pancho partied with test pilots at her ''Happy Bottom Riding Club'', including Chuck Yeager the first man to break the sound barrier.
