She was eighteen years old when someone handed her the controls of an airplane.
It happened at a Fourth of July fair in Stanford, Texas.
One flight over town changed everything.
Jerrie Badger went home knowing ordinary life would never feel the same again.
After high school she moved to San Antonio and attended university while working as a runner at a newspaper to pay for flying lessons. Money disappeared before the dream did. When she could not afford to continue, she found another way, secured a loan, and kept going.
Then war changed the country.
Jerrie heard about a new opportunity for women to fly for the military and applied to the Women Airforce Service Pilots program.
About 25,000 women applied.
Only 1,074 completed the training.
Jerrie became one of them.
On December 7, 1944, she graduated from the final WASP class and received her silver wings.
She was assigned to Aloe Army Air Field in Texas and flew AT-6 aircraft.
For a moment, the impossible became normal.
Then the program ended.
Like many women who served in that era, she returned home without the recognition many expected would come. No victory parades. No lasting military career waiting.
She built another life.
She raised four daughters.
She worked for twenty years in the U.S. Postal Service and eventually became a Postmaster.
But she never stopped being a pilot.
Decades later, recognition finally arrived.
In 2009, she and her fellow WASPs received the Congressional Gold Medal.
In 2024, she was honored again as a Living Legend.
Now more than a century old, Jerrie still carries the same energy that lifted her into the sky as a teenager.
Her advice never changed:
“Shake the bushes and say: Here I am. Don’t ignore me.”
