NYC Pilots' Meetup: An Evening with Beverly Weintraub

Attention all NYC-based pilots and aviation enthusiasts! Our next meetup is going to be an unforgettable experience, as we attend a fascinating event focused on the incredible story of the first women naval aviators. This is a fantastic opportunity to socialize with fellow pilots and learn more about the pioneers who fought for gender equality in the aviation world.

Event: An Evening with Beverly Weintraub: Wings of Gold: The Story of the First Women Naval Aviators.

Join us for this special edition of the PageTurners Reading Series at the Jefferson Market Library, where Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and instrument-rated private pilot Beverly Weintraub will discuss her book, "Wings of Gold: The Story of the First Women Naval Aviators."

The book delves into the history of the first six women recruited into Navy flight training in 1973, and their journey as they overcame resentment, skepticism, and gender barriers to prove their worth as pilots for their country. From their fight for the Equal Rights Amendment to the Tailhook scandal, Iraq War, and the battle to overturn the ban on women in combat, these trailblazers bore witness to history and made history of their own.

Don't miss this chance to meet Beverly Weintraub and hear firsthand about the remarkable women who fought for their place in aviation history. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the integration of women into naval aviation, let's gather together and honor the perseverance and courage of these groundbreaking aviators.

Whether you're a seasoned pilot or just passionate about aviation, this meetup is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and be inspired by the pioneers who paved the way for women in the field.
