March 12, 2022
It wasn’t so long ago that women were forbidden to serve as aviators in the U.S. Navy. The story of how six pioneers broke that glass ceiling is told by journalist Beverly Weintraub in her new book, “Wings of Gold: The Story of the First Women Naval Aviators.” Weintraub told Inside Edition Digital that those six women “challenged how things were done inside the Navy and outside the Navy, and really opened the door for generations of women pilots who followed.”
