Just one year after sitting in on a friend's flight lesson, she earned her pilot's license and was on the way to the front against the Japanese. She would posthumously receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for her extraordinary service and patriotism.   Learn more about Susan: https://susantateankeny.com/   Get a copy of 'American Flygirl': https://amzn.to/3UuX67N   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
