INDIANA GEAR AHS NEWSLETTER - JUNE, 1958 its 25th gearing as applied tin the fields of helicopters, jet engines, rockets, and missiles. TENNESSEE WOMAN BECOMES WORLD'S 4TH FEMALE HELICOPTER INSTRUCTOR MRS. EVELYN BRYAN, 48, a 5-foot, 2-inch, 114-pound Tennessee woman recently became the world's fourth female helicopter instructor. Mrs. Bryan lives in Jefferson City and is a partner in Morristown Flying Service, Inc. nearby. [[image]] Evelyn Bryan and BELL 47G MRS. BRYAN completed training as an instructor in BELL HELICOPTER CORP.'s school at Fort Worth, Texas, a few weeks ago. She is one of about 25 women helicopter pilots in the world and is the fourth known rotary-wing flight instructor of her sex. She went after the instructor's rating because she believes helicopters are "the coming thing" in aviation, MRS. BRYAN says. "Some day more people will be flying them, and they'll need to be instructed," the graying aviatrix feels. How did she get interested in helicopters? "Well, I became interested when I got my first ride in one back in the 1940s. A barnstorming, publicity-minded political candidate came through town. I did him a favor--flew him in an airplane from Chattanooga to Tricity, and he let me ride in a helicopter he was using in his campaign. After that I wanted to fly one myself," she said. She never has had a serious accident flying. "The only dangerous thing about flying," she says, "is drying to the airport."
