On 16 September 1941, Miss C Connon passed her flying test and received her PPL, making her the 87th female pilot in Canada. By 1943, she was the assistant manager of Airline Agencies in Toronto.
The goal of the Canadian Aviatrix Project is to find out about the lives of the first 100 women to get their private pilot licenses in Canada. There are only a handful still missing!
In Shirley Render's wonderful book 'No Place for a Lady: The Story of Canadian Women Pilots 1928-1992', she investigates the lives and careers of the female pioneers in Canadian aviation. She even includes a helpful appendix, listing the first 100 women to get their private pilot licences. I've decided to try filling out the list a bit more!
