Join the Dept. Aerospace Engineering and Women in Aerospace for a free screening of the film Fly Girls: Breaking Barriers in the Sky. The film, which is just under an hour in length, will begin at 5:30 p.m.
You’ll learn more about the more than 1,000 female pilots who were trained to ferry aircraft, test planes, instruct male pilots, even tow targets for anti-aircraft artillery practice during World War II.
After the film, panelists will share some of their experiences as women in aerospace and aviation.
