Betty Greene: Pioneering Missionary Pilot


Listen Later

Who was Betty Greene? What was her life like before meeting Jesus? Why was herconversion unexpected? In what ways did she help people to know about Jesus? Why should people today know about her?


These sources collectively present Betty Greene, a pioneering female pilot who merged her love of aviation with her strong Christian faith to become a missionary. She was a Women Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) during World War II and then co-founded Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), piloting its first flight in Mexico. Greene's career involved navigating various challenges, including skepticism about female pilots and difficult terrain, as she brought aid and religious outreach to remote areas across multiple countries. Her legacy as a fearless and determined individual continues to inspire the work of MAF today.
