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!
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.
