Could have been...Cornelia Fort followed her dream. Could have been the Mid-Southern Belle. Instead she chose to fly for the love of flying and later out of her sense of duty. Like so many pilots she had one more take off than landing. When taps are played this week or I see a "missing person" formation fly past, Ms. Fort will be part of my internal memorial.Mazinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287094369033685675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228817173405640184.post-22521651634117355642012-06-19T22:25:33.598-04:002012-06-19T22:25:33.598-04:00Very typical treatment for women flyers.
