From the early days of aviation to the present day, women have played a vital role in the development of flight.

Breakaway tells the story of these pioneering women, from the first female pilots to the astronauts who have explored space.

The Early Days of Women in Aviation

The first woman to fly a plane was Elise Deroche, who took to the skies in 1908.

Just a few years later, Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license.

These early aviators faced many challenges, including prejudice and discrimination.

But they persevered, and their achievements paved the way for future generations of women in aviation.

Amelia Earhart

One of the most famous female pilots in history is Amelia Earhart.

Earhart was a trailblazing aviator who set numerous records, including being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1937, Earhart disappeared while attempting to fly around the world.

Her disappearance remains one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time.

Jacqueline Cochran

Another pioneering female pilot was Jacqueline Cochran.

Cochran was a world-renowned aviatrix who set numerous records and competed in air races.

She was also a successful businesswoman and philanthropist.

In 1943, Cochran founded the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs).

The WASPs were a group of female pilots who flew non-combat missions during World War II.

The Modern Era

In recent years, women have made significant progress in aviation.

Today, there are more female pilots than ever before.

And women are now serving in all areas of aviation, from the cockpit to the boardroom.
