In this episode of the Wonder Women of Aviation podcast, host Natalia Mcalee and co-host Theresa Eaman engage in a deep conversation with Jessica Anderson, the director of the documentary 'The Flight of Jackie Cochran.' They explore the life and legacy of Jackie Cochran, an often-overlooked pioneer in aviation, discussing her achievements, the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, and the importance of bringing her story to light. The conversation also touches on the making of the documentary, the historical context of women in aviation, and the impact of representation in media.
