Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | The Path to Equality for Women Military Aviators (Aviation Adventures Lecture) @airandspace | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
The U.S. military began training women as pilots and other aviators in 1973. But they didn’t achieve full equality until 1993, when they gained the right to fly combat aircraft. Join Beverly Weintraub, author of "Wings of Gold: The Story of the First Women Naval Aviators," and Eileen Bjorkman (U.S. Air Force, ret.), author of "Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat," as they discuss the challenges faced by America's pioneering women military aviators and their fight to open doors for future generations.
