Founding of the Ninety-Nines
A few months after the first Women’s National Air Derby, a group of women pilots met to form an organization for social, recruitment, and business purposes. Ninety-nine became charter members, inspiring the organization’s name, and Amelia Earhart became their first president. Today the Ninety-Nines International Organization of Women Pilots is headquartered in Oklahoma City.
