From Women Aviators
Welcome to the Women Aviators Wiki!
Our goal is to share some of the inspiring and amazing stories of over a century of women's contributions in aviation. We want to gather their stories of courage and determination with the hope that it will inspire you to follow your own dreams. This wiki is meant to be a community project to preserve and honor those women who have and do contribute to aviation in all its forms.
This site has been developed and is maintained as a part of the Women Fly Project, which has been bringing quality graphics and apparel to men and women for over 15 years.
During that time, the Project has been asked many times, "Why don't you do something on this pilot, or that pilot?" The reason is simple: money and time. Many women have great stories, but it is impossible to create artwork for each and every one of them. So with that in mind, we are hoping to share the information and resources that we have been fortunate enough to gather over those years and hope that you will do the same. The wiki format is one of the great technologies developed for the web, and it allows a project like this to be put forth for the benefit and input of many contributors.
So please browse, and leave with your dreams and hopes and imaginations stirred. And please, if it moves you, feel free to share a story of your own. This compilation can never be the work of only a few, it takes a community to fill in the details of lives that may have escaped the public's attention. In the great tradition of folk history, there are experiences that should be shared, and this site intends to honor that tradition.
Each and every page can be edited by you, and of course you can add pages. We ask that you, as a contributor, endeavor to be fair, balanced and as factual as possible with the information that you submit. This is not meant to be a forum to air personal grievances or gossip, but to inform, inspire and entertain, and to preserve the rich tapestry of lives well lived.

Good luck, and blue skies!
