Cornelia Fort

Cornelia Clark Fort (February 5, 1919 – March 21, 1943) was a US aviator who became famous for two aviation related events. While conducting a civilian training flight at Pearl Harbor, she was the first US pilot to encounter the Japanese air fleet during the Attack on Pearl Harbor, and narrowly escaped a strafing attack after landing. The next year, Fort became the second member of what became the Women Airforce Service Pilots, and was working as a ferry pilot when she became the first female pilot in American history to die on active duty.
==Early life and career==
Fort was born to a wealthy and prominent Nashville, Tennessee, family; her father, Rufus Elijah Fort, was a founder of National Life and Accident Insurance Company.〔Rob Simbeck, ''Daughter of the Air: The Brief Soaring Life of Cornelia Fort'', Atlantic, 1999, ISBN 0-87113-688-0, (p. 7 ).〕 She received a high school certificate from the Ward-Belmont School in 1936.〔1936 Milestones, p.41 ()〕 She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1939.〔Janet R. Daly Bednarek and Michael H.
