    A Chicago registered nurse would go on to become the first African-American female to hold a commercial pilot’s license.

    Janet Bragg was born in March of 1907 in Griffin, Ga., and after graduation from an Episcopal school, attended college at Spelman Seminary in Atlanta where she earned a registered nursing degree in 1929.

    After obtaining a nursing position at Wilson Hospital in Chicago, Bragg decided in 1933 to attend the Aeronautical University ground school, where she learned the basics in meteorology, aeronautics and aircraft maintenance. But, because the school had no airplane, there was no type of flight training available.

    Bragg decided to change all of that.

    Making the decision that it would be cheaper to buy a plane, rather than rent one, she bought her first plane for $600 – one of three that she would eventually purchase.

    Read the rest of her inspirational story here.

    navyhistory:

    USS Lafayette (AP 53) lies on her side in a New York City East River dock. She had rolled over when fire swept her on 9 February 1942, while undergoing conversion at New York City pier 88. Lafayette’s list during the fire-fighting gradually increased, and she rolled over, coming to rest on her port side, at an angle of about 80 degrees. Successfully righted in 1943, Lafayette was too damaged to be repaired, and was sold for scrap in 1946. National Archives photograph, K 3874.
