Harriet Quimby, America's first licensed female pilot in 1911, said all she wanted was "to be first." She wasn't afraid to die trying.

LADY OF THE AIR
changed to: 1911. Being the first licensed female pilot and the first female to fly the English Channel wasn't enough for Harriet. One more record flight...then she'd quit.
Hi Sterling Scripts,
I think I agree with dpg here (for a change ;) ) -- the purpose of a logline is to describe the plot -- at the moment you've given us a broad concept. The logline should be very specific as to what actually occurs in your story. If I want to buy your script I have to know what I'm getting in for -- mainly, how much will this baby cost, and how much will audiences potentially like it. At the moment I can't even make assumptions on either of those things. Potentially interesting subject matter, but not as interesting as a succinct compelling STORY.
Best of Luck.
Okay. Do you have a central idea, theme or premise which ties the whole series together? Harriet Quimby lived a varied, albeit abbreviated, life. Aviation only occupied the last couple of years or so.
So I can envision a string of pearls, interesting incidents and episodes that end with her untimely death. But what do you conceive to be the plot?
