Rag Wing Derby


In August of 1929 . . .

Twenty women pulled on britches, snapped on goggles and climbed into their cockpits to race across the country.

It was the first all-women's transcontinental air race.

There was the media darling, the Hollywood starlet, the aviatrix record breakers and the unforgettable foul-mouthed wife of a preacher.

Together these women were flying in the face of anyone who believed women belonged on the ground.

Rag Wing Derby is the documentary that tells their story.

After years of research, Archetypal Images is now ready to make Rag Wing Derby a reality.
