Barnes and a squadron of his flying tigers from the Sky-Life camp near Edinburg, New York. EJ Lee, a former Navy and commercial helicopter pilot with over 10,000 accident-free hours, founded Sky-Life in 1963. It's the nation's oldest flying camp and the first one designed for the purpose of teaching youngsters to fly.EJ To date, Lee has graduated over 250 licensed teenage pilots. Over sixty of his students have soloed on their 16th birthdays; many have gone on to earn higher ratings, and not a single one has ever had an accident during or after his Sky-Life training! O Lee is justifiably proud of Sky-Life’s safety record, but he's prouder still of the boys themselves. “ They’ve made this camp what it is today’’, he says, “ they built it, they run it, and they believe in it.’’ EJ USAIG believes in it too. We have insured Sky-Life from its inception and we are proud ,0 be sharing in its growth and progress.

From a Stripes by Earhart Tote Bag During the current energy crisis, the Board of Directors of the Ninety Nines, Inc., International organization of women pilots, would like to state a policy of assisting in conserving fuel: “Chapters or groups will be encouraged to hold only those flying events which will place increased emphasis on flight proficiency, up-grading of pilot skills, safety and efficient use of fuel.” The 1974 International Convention is still scheduled to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico! It now looks feasible in spite of the fuel crisis and we are pleased to be able to continue the planning. An alternate site was carefully considered. Two months ago, when the situation looked critical, however the convention committee is working on air transportation arrangements and reports are good. More information is coming and we hope you plan to attend. The decision of the AWTAR Board to cancel this year’s Powder Puff Derby has received very favorable publicity. Many important commitments must be made months in advance in order to conduct this highly publicized and unique flying event. There was no alter­ native but to act wisely and timely. The uncertainty for fuel at some points along the race route was a factor but the AWTAR Board was sensitive to the President’s request to conserve energy and has shown good judgment by cooperating. We encourage all racers to use this year for race proficiency training for an even better race when it can be held again. A special meeting of the Board of Directors for 99’s was held January 17 - 19 in Oklahoma City to discuss many important matters which affect our organization as well as the aviation industry. A policy was formulated in response to the energy crisis which was released to the press and sent to all Governors, chapter chairmen, International committe chairmen and officials of 99-sponsored flying events held during the past 18 months. From mail received, we believe that this reflects the wishes of the member. It should challenge the imagination of 99’s everywhere. The 99 NEWS will carry some of the program ideas which are received; others will be sent to the chapters from the Contest To a complete Committee, Flying Activities and Air Age Education committees. The Board discussed membership at length. Our international membership chairman, set of luggage Pat Shearer, hard at work with questionnaires to the membership, so that responses are now coming in with a good return. Some things learned so far; that those who have responded are proud and glad to be members of 99’s because our organization is AC- for men and women TIVE-and not social primarily, although the social aspects and friendships are im­ portant; that the energy and enthusiasm in most chapters enables us to accomplish many interesting, education, informative and useful goals that we enjoy most of flying and sharing with others has brought the husbands and families in to our activities; and that we have hundreds of reasons for flying.

  • The Ninety Nines
    THE NINETY NINES THE NINETY NINES Captain Nancy Aldrich, aviation writer If you have been reading my blogs, I'm sure you have noticed several references to The Ninety Nines. This article will explain just who they are and what they do. In 1929, the first All Women's Air Derby was held during the National Air Races. It attracted 20* brave, adventurous young women, and covered 2,759 miles. The race began at Santa Monica, California, and ended in Cleveland, Ohio. To qualify as a racer, the women had to have a minimum of 100 flight hours, at least 25 of which had to have been on cross country flights. These were the same requirements for men competing in National Air Races. In the early days of aviation there were not many women pilots, but most of the women had met at previous events. They were a tight band and looked forward to this first real race for women. It was a chance to prove their skills to the general public. They took this event very seriously and were somewhat upset when the humorous commentator, Will Rogers dubbed it, "The Powder Puff Derby." On August 18, 1929, nineteen pilots took off, one more left the next day. Fifteen of the women arrived in Cleveland, 9 days later. Almost every pilot had some kind of problem during the race. Tragically, Marvel Crosson was killed when she crashed in Gila River Valley. Her crash was attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. When it was learned that she had been killed there was a public outcry to cancel the race.

These early years defined, as Herman Gray suggests in Watching Race, all subsequent representations of blackness on television. This defining moment, I argue, is one inextricably tethered to the South and the region’s anxiety ridden and complicated relationship with television. This anxiety was rooted in the progress and increasing visibility of the Civil Rights Movement, concern over growing white southern audiences in the wake of the FCC freeze (ended in 1952), and the fear and threat of a southern backlash against racially progressive programming.

  • Lockheed Aircraft Since 1913
    i FOREWORD The post-WWI boom in the U n i t e d S t a t e s p r o d u c e d the Roaring Twenties, jazz, prohibition, and art deco design. Babe Ruth was regularly hitting home runs, and the movie industry was experimenting with talkies. And then Lindbergh’s sensational solo flight across the Atlantic sparked an explosion of a v i a t i o n d e v e l o p m e n t s . Lockheed’s Vega led the way. The Vega’s design and power encouraged people in the slambang days of the early ‘30s to seek the thrills and romance that lay beyond the horizon. Her feats and record-breaking accomplishments kept the Lockheed name ablaze in headlines, and the Vega earned respect and admiration from people in all walks of life. With a long, smooth fuselage and curvaceous strut-free wing, the Lockheed Vega burst onto the scene where box-kite biplanes and brutish tri-motors performed. A glamour-girl, she stole the spotlight and the Lockheed Vega became a name symbolic of the utmost in speed to airman and schoolboy alike. The name Lockheed flashed back and forth across the continent and over the top of the world. The slogan “Look for Lockheed for Leadership” rang true, but was soon replaced when ’'It takes a Lockheed to beat a Lockheed” became an accepted fact. ii CHAPTER∏ 1 A LONG CLIMB TO SUCCESS Soon after the Wright Brothers flight in 1903 a remarkable single mother, Flora Loughead, moved her two young sons, Allan and Malcolm, from San Francisco to a small fruit farm north of Oakland, California.

Theorizing the Transcendent Persona: Amelia Earhart’s Vision in The Fun of It Robin E. Jensen, Erin F. Doss, Claudia I. Janssen, & Sherrema A. Bower In this article, we define and theorize the ‘‘transcendent persona,’’ a discursive strategy in which a rhetor draws from a boundary-breaking accomplishment and utilizes the symbolic capital of that feat to persuasively delineate unconventional ways of communicating and behaving in society. Aviator Amelia Earhart’s autobiography The Fun of It (1932) functions as an instructive representative anecdote of this concept and demonstrates that the transcendent persona’s persuasive force hinges on one’s ability to balance distance from audiences with similarities to them.
