SUMMARY:Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II with Natalie J. Stewart-Smith
DESCRIPTION:During World War II over one thousand women served as Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)\, freeing male pilots for combat roles at a critical time during the war. The WASP ferried planes from factories to embarkation points; performed engineer test flying of repaired aircraft and did target towing for gunnery training. By the spring of 1944\, every P-51 Mustang flown in combat had already been flown by a WASP. This presentation shares their stories as fliers\, patriots\, and women who had to fight for the right to be called veterans. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nNatalie J. Stewart-Smith has been an educator for over 25 years and taught at the elementary\, high school\, and college levels. As a former Army officer and historian\, she is interested in women’s contributions to the military\, particularly those who served as military aviators. \n

SUMMARY:Lives of Arizonans from Memoirs and Fiction with Jim Turner
DESCRIPTION:Arizona pioneers tell their stories in diaries\, letters\, and memoirs. Martha Summerhayes’s beloved Vanished Arizona and Captain John Bourke’s On the Border with Crook\, plus biographies of Hopi\, Pima\, and Tohono O’odham women describe their lives and feelings. But we’ll also look at fiction\, including Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop\, Zane Gray’s Riders of the Purple Sage\, and contemporary authors like Marguerite Noble’s Filaree and Nancy Turner’s These is My Words. Richly illustrated with historic photographs and artwork\, this presentation gives audiences a personal understanding of what life was like for Native Americans and pioneer emigrants. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nBefore retiring from the Arizona Historical Society\, Jim Turner worked with more than 70 museums across the state. He co-authored the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history\, Arizona: Celebration of the Grand Canyon State\, was a 2012 Southwest Books of the Year selection. Jim moved to Tucson in 1951\, earned a M.A. in U.S. history in 1999\, and has been presenting Arizona history for more than forty years. Jim is an author/editor for Rio Nuevo Publishers\, author of The Mighty Colorado from the Glaciers to the Gulf and Four Corners USA: Wonders of the American Southwest.
