Dorothy Wetherald Rungeling by Martha Southwell
Dorothy's portrait was featured in the 99 News in 2013. A member in the Order of Canada and awarded the Amelia Earhart Medallion, Dorothy's accomplishments have broken barriers for women in aviation. The first Canadian woman to solo a Bell G2 helicopter in 1958, she also flew many transcontinental and international air races during the 1950's. Dorothy was one of three women in Canada to obtain a Senior Commercial Licence in 1954 and a Multi Engine Rating in 1955. In 1958 she obtained her Class 1 Instrument Rating and was the only Canadian woman to hold an Airline Transport Licence. Her dream of having women flying in the captain seat for top airlines has come true.
