Jacqueline Cochran (11 May 1906 - 9 August 1980) was a pioneer American aviatrix, considered to be one of the most gifted race pilots of her generation. Her contributions to the formation of the wartime Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) and WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) were also significant. Wikipedia
