Alice Miller

On Feb. 7th, 2026, Alice Miller will present the latest and newest installment of her continuing series; "Women with Wings." Alice has given us many insights into the history of Women in Aviation. This newest presentation will begin with the Women of the A.T.A. and the W.A.S.P.s but will focus on many other individuals and their history.

She will also cover the later and lesser known aspects of Jaqueline Cochran's career and contributions to aviation. Jackie Cochran made substantial contributions to the U. S. Air Force, including flying jet aircraft. Come and see Alice's great displays and hear her commentary on "Women with Wings."
