- Q6376325 abstract "Katherine Cheung, born in Canton, China in 1904, became the first licensed Asian-American female pilot in the U.S. in 1932.As a teen, she moved to the United States to study music at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and California State Polytechnic at Pomona. While in her twenties she went on her first flight with a cousin. She was impressed enough by the experience that she decided to enroll in flying lessons with the Chinese Aeronautical Association.She had a gift for flight, soloing after only 12.5 hours of instruction. At that time women were not allowed to enroll in flying schools in China, and only 1% of licensed pilots in the U.S. were women. In 1935, she earned her international pilot's license, and flew as a commercial pilot. She also entered numerous competitive air races and flew at airshows.In 1935 Cheung joined the Ninety Nines club for women pilots, an association founded by Amelia Earhart.Following the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, Katherine Cheung decided to return to China and open a flying school to help win the war. However, her cousin was soon killed while flying her airplane, and Cheung's father, worrying for Katherine's safety, made her promise to give up flying. She died of cancer at age 98 in 2003.".
