Join Claire Bear (Ursus Aviatrix) as she journeys from Alpha to Zulu to present The Pilot Alphabet. Claire Bear and her fellow pilots use this phonetic alphabet when they communicate on the radio with air traffic controllers and other pilots. Saying "Bravo," for example, makes it clear to everyone in the world that she means "B," not "D." While Claire's daredevil aerobatics appeal to high minded aspiring boy and girl pilots; her whimsical, lyrical approach will draw the attention of children of all interests. Claire shows that girls can succeed in traditionally male dominated arenas. Recommended for ages 2 to 8.
