I Reached Edwards Air Force Base Just As Jackie Cochran Was Landing After A Trial Speed Flight In The Northrup T-38. She Was Tired From The Strain Of The Flight, But When Informed That I Needed Photos For The Painting, She Did Everything Possible To Help Me Obtain The Shots. I Observed The Self-Assurance And Confidence That One Would Imagine The Worlds Most Famous Aviatrix Would Possess, And Admired The Skill That Has Carried Here Safely Through The Skies For Many Years. The Contributions She Has Made To The Progress Of Aviation Are Many And, In What Is Considered A Mans Field, She Has Done An Amazing Amount To Enhance The Role Of Woman In An Age Of Flight.
