Diminutive Hazel Raines was the first female to obtain a pilot's license in Georgia. She logged 6,400 flight hours during her 20 years of flying, including World War II, where she flew with England's Royal Air Force, because her own country was not employing female pilots. Returning to the U.S., she became a WASP, and flew until that organization was disbanded. Then she joined the Third Air Force and flew during the Korean War. When she received an opportunity to teach pilots in Brazil, she enthusiastically learned Portuguese and moved to Sao Paolo for this new adventure. Hazel joined the Women's Army Corp and eventually returned to England, embarking on top-secret missions to NATO bases across Europe. Hers was a life shaped by bravery, intelligence, and charm, as well as the political and social challenges of the day.<span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Lady Unveiled: Catharine Greene Miller 1755-1814:<span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">During a compelling life that took her from Rhode Island to Cumberland Island, GA, Kitty Greene broke the bondage of tradition. Married to the legendary General Nathanael Greene, this controversial, independent woman charmed and inspired living icons: Benjamin Franklin, George and Martha Washington, Henry and Lucy Knox, &ldquo;Mad&rdquo; Anthony Wayne and others through the tumultuous times surrounding the Revolutionary War.<br style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;" /><br style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;" /><span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Faced with challenges that would unnerve a less resourceful woman, Kitty made a name for herself. A churning mass of contradictions&mdash;beautiful, elegant and intelligent&mdash;she also made meaningful contributions to ongoing political discussions led by her husband and his friends. Drawn to the company of men at social gatherings, Kitty was slandered for bending the rules of propriety. Yet this enabled her to be instrumental in the development of the age&rsquo;s most remarkable invention, the cotton gin. Because of the limitations of her era, she took no credit, giving Eli Whitney all rights of invention. Founding Mother Catharine Greene Miller's irrepressible spirit and influence altered the history of America.<span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Fly, Fly away:<span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">What if your beloved homeland were taken away from you? What if the only way to save your family was to send your children to an unknown land and uncertain future? This happened to thousands of families in Cuba. The loss of freedom, the fear of persecution and the idea of losing their children to the communist government forced many parents to save their children by sending them away. One of the most dramatic events in post-revolutionary Cuba was the unprecedented exodus of more than 14,000 unaccompanied children. This relocation of children, beginning in 1960 to prevent them from facing Marxist indoctrination in Cuban State schools, became known as "Operation Pedro Pan." It was founded in Miami by Father Bryan O. Walsh of the Catholic Welfare Bureau, with the assistance of James Baker, headmaster of a private American school in Havana. This inspiring story of the &ldquo;Underground Railway in the Sky&rdquo; introduces the heroic efforts of so many people in pursuit of freedom for a generation of young Cubans.<span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><h1 class="a-spacing-none a-text-normal" id="title" style="padding:0px;color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;line-height:36px;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400 !important;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;text-rendering:optimizelegibility;text-decoration-line:none;"></h1><span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><span style="color:#0f1111;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline !important;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">
