Support You Fly, Girl

"All those who see me, and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly." Interview: Angela Masson A few photos and news articles of Angela Masson and Viola Gentry. Angela with her airplane, Romeo, after the 1972 Powder Puff Derby. From The Ocean County Weekend Reporter 08 JUL 1972 I like this story about Viola because it tells how she once won the booby-prize - the "Royal Jackass Flying Trophy". I mentioned how in my first local race I won the "Tail End Charlie Award". Kind of a sisterhood thing, I suppose, passing the torch. Also in this story it says she flew the 1972 Powder Puff Derby, age 72. from The Ninety-Nines: Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow; Turner Publishing, 1996 And here we are together at the 1972 Powder Puff Derby Awards Dinner – the oldest and the youngest.
