Betty Greene: The Girl Who Longed to Fly

By Laura Caputo-Wickham

Book Overview

Inspire children to combine their interests with serving God through the true story of Betty Greene, who helped set up the Mission Aviation Fellowship.

Betty wanted to learn to fly from the age of 7, and when she grew up, that's exactly what she did. When World War II started, Betty used her skills to serve with the Women Airforce Service Pilots (also known as WASPs). She even became part of a research project that sent pilots way up high, through the stratosphere

Once the war had ended, she brought her passion for flying and her passion for the Lord Jesus together, and helped to set up a mission which is known today as the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).

Throughout her life, Betty made over 4,640 flights and served in 12 countries, landing in around 20 more.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Betty Greene (1920-1997) is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
