I guess I am an aviation weenie, in that I've read a number of WWII bio's, the latest of which is "Unbroken" (outstanding bio), by Laura Hilldebrand. Jackie C. was, IMO a real pioneer. She was well connected with Capital Hill, and broke the sound barrier as a civilian (I believe) in a F104 or F86. She was also good friends with Chuck Yeager. I'm presently reading to find out more about this free-spirited aviator.
