World War II gave young women an unprecedented opportunity to fly military aircraft for their country. In 1939, Congress approved the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPT). One student out of every ten could be female. More than 2000 women learned to fly through CPT, just in time to make a difference in the outcome of the war. One such young woman was Barbara Jane Erickson.
