These short biographies in the Great Women in Aviation Series tell the stories of notable women pilots whose passion for flight inspires young and old alike to take to the skies. This 1,200 word monograph is not meant to be a comprehensive history of Janet Bragg’s life, but it discusses her involvement in aviation, and the positive message she conveys. The main purpose of this biography is to inspire youth to follow their dreams of flight. This will make an excellent source for a book report or other paper.One day in 1933 Janet Bragg saw a billboard displaying a bird building a nest around her chicks. The caption read: "Birds learn to fly, why can't you?" "I'll never forget my first flight instructor, his nickname was 'Dynamite' and he was a real roughneck. He took me through all sorts of maneuvers on that first flight. I think he thought if he could frighten me or make me sick I'd get scared and never come back, then he'd never have to deal with me again. But I sure fooled him, I loved the ride and couldn't wait to go up again."
