Small town girl, Evelyn Sharp — a real warrior — wowed the world with her incredible aviation skills. As a young girl, Evelyn was an energetic young girl who dreamed of becoming a pilot. After school, she trained for hours every day, even in the cold winter, and made many sacrifices to pursue her goals. This young woman went from being a kid growing up in Nebraska to the youngest licensed female pilot in America and the first air postal carrier.
She pushed past cultural barriers and joined the famed Ninety-Nines Aviation Club with Amelia Earhart. These warriors changed world history and the stigma of women fliers before and during in World War II. Now women can gain medical degrees, manage corporations, or operate rockets in space due to Evelyn’s bravery.
