Willa Brown

Willa Brown was born in 1906 in Glasgow, Kentucky. Brown was a pioneering aviator who worked tirelessly to integrate the field. She earned her pilot license in 1938, and a commercial license the following year. She was a founding member of the first Black aviators' group, the National Airmen's Association of America. Brown and her husband, Cornelius Coffey, co-founded the Coffey School of Aeronautics. As the director of the school, she played a key role in training more than 200 students who later became Tuskegee Airmen. In 1942, Brown became the first African-American officer in the Civil Air Patrol.

Willa Brown died in 1992 at the age of 86.

So, rather than leaving his Wing by becoming an ace, Olds did the exact opposite. On at least a dozen occasions, Olds set up kills and let his wingman take a shoot at the MiGs. For Olds, keeping his men alive by being there and leading combat mission was more important than accumulating kills or careerism. 2/2

North American XB-70 Valkyrie, 1960s. It looks as gorgeous and futuristic as the first time it flew, over 60 years ago.
