The Ebell of Los Angeles presents a program titled “Women Take Wing: Early Aviation in Los Angeles” on Monday, March 30.

Aviation historian and author Barbara Schultz will share high-flying stories about pilot Amelia Earhart and other pioneering aviatrixes from the first half of the 20th century.

Earhart had a special tie to the Ebell of Los Angeles, having lectured there in April 1937 about a recent crash she had in Hawaii.

Less than three months later, she departed on her final flight. Schultz will also discuss lesser-known women leaders in flight, including Juanita Burns, Gladys O’Donnell, Clema Granger and Bobbi Trout.

Schultz is an accomplished aviatrix herself, having earned her private pilot license in 1978.

She purchased a 1950 Cessna 140A, married her test pilot husband, Phil, and two years and two sons later, established their own airport in the Antelope Valley, where they still live.

She also operates Plane Mercantile, which features vintage aviation items.

Tickets are $25 for Ebell members prior to 4 p.m. on March 26; $30 afterwards. Tickets for non-members are $30 until 4 p.m. on March 26; $35 afterwards. The Ebell of Los Angeles is located at the corner of Wilshire and Lucerne boulevards. For information, call (323)931-1277 ext. 131, or visit www.EbellEventTickets.com.
