If you’re out at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this week, stop by the EAA Museum’s Skyscape Theater for a premiere screening of the PBS documentary “Beyond the Powder: The Legacy of the First Women’s Cross-Country Air Race.” The one-hour film will be shown Wednesday July 22 at 4 p.m. and again on Saturday July 25.
“Beyond the Powder” highlights the adventurous women who fly the cross-country race known as the Air Race Classic, while going back in time to tell the story of the 1929 Women’s Air Derby, also known as the Powder Puff Derby. Today these women pilots continue the tradition and legacy that was set before them while inspiring others to enjoy the exciting sport.
