99s MISSION
STATEMENT
Promote world fellowship through flight.
Provide networking and scholarship opportunities for women and
aviation education in the community.
Preserve the unique history of women in aviation.
Wisconsin Chapter Chartered in 1940. The Central
Wisconsin chapter was formed when Melba Beard lived in Madison. In early
1941, Milwaukee area women pilots organized an Eastern Wisconsin Chapter.
During World War II, many Wisconsin chapter members joined the WASPS, WACs,
and WAVES; others joined the Civil Air Patrol. Ruth Harmon, Wisconsin's first
women airport operator (Kenosha) taught army and navy cadets to fly. Later
the two Wisconsin Chapters merged to form the present day Wisconsin chapter.
In more recent history, Wisconsin members have delivered daffodils for the
American Cancer Society, presented Flying Companion Seminars, completed air
marking projects, and given aviation presentations for schools and community
groups. In addition, members participate in our annual June Pancake Breakfast
in Watertown. Many women in aviation have been introduced to our organization
by volunteers at the International 99s tent in Oshkosh, each summer at
AirVenture.
The Wisconsin Chapter celebrates its 68th anniversary with members
representing many facets of aviation, from private to airline pilots, flight
instructors, seaplane, helicopters, glider pilots, balloonists, parachutists,
and air traffic controllers.
Wisconsin is a Member of the North Central Section.
