Kim Ponders was one of the first women to fly in a combat zone during her stint in the first gulf war. Her new novel, "The Art of Uncontrolled Flight", draws upon her six years of experience flying over the Middle East to tell the story of a similar, fictional pilot. We'll talk with her about the ups and downs of life as a woman in a military dominated by men and in a region ruled by Muslim standards. You can read Kim's Blog, Femme La Guerre, here.
