Sharpie: The Life Story of Evelyn Sharp


SHARPIE: THE LIFE STORY OF EVELYN SHARP - Nebraska's Aviatrix
by Diane Ruth Armour Bartels

Born on October 20, 1919, to parents who married only long enough to give their baby a name, Evelyn Genevieve Sharp is given up for adoption when she is only two months old.

A move to the Nebraska Sandhills and an itinerant flight instructor's overdue room and board bill put her in the front seat of an Alexander Flyabout. She is a "natural", earning her private, commercial, and instructor's ratings by age 20. Sharpie is the biography of an early Nebraska barnstorming pilot who became one of the first women to ferry US Army Air Force fighters during World War II. It is the life story of a remarkable woman who gave her life for her country.
