Hazel Lee
Hazel Lee loved to play cards and she loved to play pranks. And she loved to fly planes.
During WWII, the U.S. didn't have enough male pilots. So the Women Airforce Service Pilots was created. Hazel was invited to join.
Her job was to deliver aircraft to points of embarkation, from which they were shipped to Europe and the Pacific. The group worked 7 days a week with little time off.
On November 23rd, 1944, flying in bad weather in North Dakota, she crashed with another plane upon landing. She passed away two days later, the last of 38 female pilots to die during WWII.
