Learn about the ‘Fly Girls of World War II’ at Elmhurst museum
During World War II, more than 1,100 women, led by Jackie Cochran, the “Speed Queen”, served their country by flying every military aircraft in the American armed forces.
Air ferry missions, target practice for artillery crews, and the aircraft maintenance shakedown flights are just a few of the types of missions flown by these American heroines.
Join Rebecca Tulloch, a certified FAA pilot herself, as she tells the story of the “Fly Girls of WW2” as only a pilot can.
The lecture will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 10, in the Elmhurst History Museum Education Center, 120 E. Park Ave.
Cost is $5 or free for museum members. Register at www.elmhursthistory.org.
