Amelia Earhart's Revolutionary Flight Club

Season 3
December 28, 2018
amelia earhart's revolutionary flight club

You know Amelia Earhart, but did you know she was just one of a daring group of women aviators who defied both expectations and gravity in the 1920s? They called themselves the Ninety-Nines, and they’re still flying today as an organization dedicated to the advancement of women pilots. This time on Sidedoor, we time-travel with our friends at the National Air and Space Museum's AirSpace podcast to the Roaring '20s and experience America's first official all-female air race. We'll also meet a modern-day Ninety-Nine who is ensuring that the legacy of Earhart and her fellow pilots continues to thrive.
