Skybound!: Starring Mary Myers as Carlotta, Daredevil Aeronaut and Scientist

Written by Sue Ganz-Schmitt and Iacopo Bruno

Narrated by Lori Gardner

Mary Myers always dreamed of flying, but she lived when women were often told to stay put and stay quiet. Determined and fearless, Mary wouldn’t stay tied down. With the help of her husband, she transformed into Carlotta, the famous aeronaut, and took to the skies. Carlotta performed much more than aerial feats in her gas balloons. A skybound scientist, she collected information on currents, weather, and atmospheric pressure.

Soar with Sue Ganz-Schmitt as she brilliantly spotlights the life of Mary Myers, aka Carlotta, who always had her mind and heart in the skies.

“Remarkable account of a phenomenal female aeronaut! As a young, female mechanical engineer and pilot, I am captivated by Mary’s story and her fantastic contribution to the worlds of aviation and science.”—Savannah Bradley, 4thgeneration balloon pilot
