Remembering Hazel Lee, the First Chinese-American Female Military Pilot

The way many historians tell it, Hazel Ying Lee decided to become a pilot just moments after her first flight.

The daughter of two business owners who settled in Portland, Oregon, after immigrating from China, Lee took her first flight in 1932, just a few years after graduating from high school. She would become one of the first Chinese-American women to ever earn a pilot's license later that year. . . .
