Dorothy was one of Canada’s most illustrious women pilots in the early fifties. She served as Governor, East Canada Section  for two terms, yet very little mention can be found in the 99s International History books of this remarkable lady who opened many doors for women in aviation, particularly in the world of Air Racing.
