ACHSA by Achsa Barnwell Peacock Holfelder Donnels

Achsa Barnwell Peacock Holfelder Donnels is an amazing woman. On her way home from school one day in 1923, she saw 2 Jenny (JN4D) aircraft in a vacant lot. One of the young men asked if she would like a ride. She didn't even hesitate. They did loops and rolls and by the time they landed, Achsa's life long love of flying had begun.

Achsa's life reads like fascinating novel as she takes the reader through her flying adventures, her marriages and her love of sailing. She has taught flying and owned two airlines and a number of historic aircraft. A true pioneer, she has seen and been a part of aviation progress from its earliest days when it was considered an exotic mode of travel, to the hi-tech and essential presence it is today.

Now 95, Achsa has written her life story of adventure and accomplishment. Still active, she is able to speak to groups and do interviews. She is a charter member of The Ninety-Nines and the recipient of several lifetime aviation awards. She has been featured in magazines and news stories throughout the USA.
