Hide Profile

The female pioneers of flight all began with aviatrixes, such as Amelia Earhart, Betty Wharton, and Blanche Noyes, in 1929. Their fame started with the creation of the "Ninety-Nines," an international organization of licensed women pilots established to educate and support their fellow women who have passion for flight. Named for the original 99 members, the "Ninety-Nines" were established at Curtiss Field, Long Island, New York.
