[Libs-Or] Discover Oregon's Golden Age of Aviation at the Oregon Historical Society

[Rachel Randles]

Good afternoon!

You are invited to soar through the history of aviation in the Oregon Historical Society's newest exhibition, She Flies with Her Own Wings: Oregon's Golden Age of Aviation<https://www.ohs.org/museum/exhibits/she-flies-with-her-own-wings.cfm>. Opening Friday, March 7 in downtown Portland, visitors will discover how the wonder of flight sparked innovation, inspired new aviators, and connected communities during a transformative period in American history.

Within the exhibition, visitors will discover how aviation inspired hope and promise during a period of uncertainty, connecting communities quite literally through the building of new airports and the popularity and excitement of airshows. Featuring video interviews, flight suits, and even a restored plane, She Flies with Her Own Wings also profiles noted aviators from the era, including Dorothy Hester, Hazel Ying Lee, Tex Rankin, and Leah Hing.

A full press release<https://www.ohs.org/about-us/news-and-press/upload/030525-Aviation-Press-Release.pdf> is attached and you can access our press kit with high-resolution images here<https://bit.ly/aviationpr>.

We would love to take you on a tour before the exhibit opens on Friday!

Best,

Rachel
