The story of Hazel Jane Raines - the first female aviator in Georgia
Hazel Jane Raines dramatically broke through the constraints of traditional Southern womanhood to enter the exclusively male world of wartime aviation. This is her story of patriotism, the power of positive attitudes and the joys of flight. As a daredevil “barnstormer” and stunt pilot, she left audiences gasping. Then she answered the nation’s desperate need for pilots during World War II, helping turn the tide of battle in the skies, and changing women’s aviation status forever.
One of the 25 American female pilots recruited to serve as a ferry pilot with England’s Royal Air Force, this pioneer aviatrix flew military aircraft in a theater of war. To fly undetected by enemy radar, she used only a compass and her steely intuition, made no radio contact and soared unarmed through the hostile skies patrolled by the German Air Force to deliver bombers and fighters.
