Women in test history

Jacqueline Cochran standing on the wing of an F-86. In 1953, Jacqueline Cochran made two supersonic dives in a Canadian-built F-86 Sabre becoming the first woman to exceed the speed of sound. At her death in 1980, Cochran held more speed, distance, and altitude records than any other pilot, which remains true today. (Photo courtesy Air Force Test Center History Office)
