SUMMARY:Girls in Aviation Day - Covington\, GA
DESCRIPTION:Two restored World War II aircraft from Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia will be part of this year’s annual Girls in Aviation Day Sept. 16 at Covington Municipal Airport\, Covington\, Ga. Women in Aviation International (WAI) arranges the entire day dedicated to inspiring young women and girls to explore careers in aviation. Activities are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. \n\n\n\nAirbase Georgia\, based in Peachtree City\, Ga.\, will be displaying its popular P-51 Mustang\, “Red Nose”\, and a rare P-63 Kingcobra meticulously restored by the Airbase a few years ago\, and named “Miss Betty” in honor of a Georgia woman who actually worked on building it. Betty Bishop was one of thousands of “Rosie the Riveter” women who staffed America’s factories during WWII. Some costumed “Rosies” from Airbase Georgia also will participate. \n\n\n\n“One of the key missions of the CAF and Airbase Georgia is to inspire young people to pursue careers in aviation\, which fits perfectly with this event hosted by the Wheels Down South chapter of WAI\,” said Airbase leader Joel Perkins. “Approximately 250 young people will have the opportunity to enjoy a full day dedicated to aviation.”

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening - Courage in the Clouds:  Cornelia Fort and the First Female Pilots of WWII
DESCRIPTION:Redwood Educational Technologies will offer a special screening of their new 45-minute documentary – Courage in the Clouds: Cornelia Fort and the First Female Pilots of WWII – at Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia\, 1200 Echo Ct.\, Peachtree City\, at 10 a.m. Friday\, March 24\, 2023. Judith Stanford Miller\, documentary writer and producer\, will be accompanied by Leontine Fort Linton LaPointe\, Cornelia’s niece. Judith has worked closely with Leontine and other Fort family members for more than a year as she researched Cornelia’s life for the documentary. \n\n\n\nCornelia Fort (1919-1943) was the second woman pilot accepted into the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS) in 1942 when the U.S. Army Air Forces reached out to experienced female pilots to perform ferrying duties within the United States. Cornelia was also the first woman military pilot to die in service to her country on March 21\, 1943. \n\n\n\nBefore the outbreak of WWII\, Cornelia was an instructor within the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP)\, first at Fort Collins\, Colo.\, and then in Honolulu Hawaii. Cornelia was in the air early on the morning of Dec. 7\, 1941 and was one of the first\, if not the first\, civilian pilot to realize Pearl Harbor was under attack. With civilian aviation grounded\, Cornelia returned to her home in Nashville where she joined the Civil Air Patrol and continued teaching. \n\n\n\nAfter joining the WAFS in September 1942\, she primarily ferried Piper Cub airplanes from the factory in Lock Haven\, Penn. and PT-19 airplanes from the Fairchild factory in Hagerstown\, Md. On New Year’s Day 1943\, she spent the night in Atlanta as she ferried a PT-19 to Vernon\, Texas. One year before\, Cornelia ferried a Piper Cub to Tuskegee Air Field where the Tuskegee Airmen were training. \n\n\n\nFollowing the documentary screening and discussion\, guests will be able to tour the Airbase Georgia hangar from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.\, where volunteers are restoring a PT-19 that was delivered to Tuskegee in November 1943. This historic airplane was likely ferried by a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). In August 1943\, the WAFS came under the umbrella of the WASP. \n\n\n\n\nRegister
