The America250 celebration concludes with a free special screening of the award-winning documentary “The Flight of Jackie Cochran,” honoring the remarkable life of aviation pioneer Jackie Cochran. In collaboration with the Wings of Courage tour and Moody Air Force Base, we will be showing this documentary at the Turner Center for the Arts.A contemporary and rival of Amelia Earhart, Cochran shattered more speed, altitude, and distance records than any pilot of her era—male or female. She became the first woman to break the sound barrier and founded the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II, forever changing opportunities for women in military aviation. Her inspiring story reminds audiences that the American spirit is defined by perseverance, innovation, and the courage to pursue the impossible.
