Folklore Friday: Lost History of Red Clay Valley: Katrina Pusey

Gather around the bonfire with us, and be transported back in time through stories of local folklore and history by our gifted storytellers. Each community, each state, are threads in the fabric that make up the history and legacy of our great nation; each Friday a different storyteller will illuminate a thread of our past around the bonfire, bringing the past to life with stories of folklore and history.

Discover the lost but exciting history of Delaware's first female aviator! In the 1930s, Katrina Pusey became the chief pilot for the flying delivery service of the Phillips Packing Company of Cambridge, Maryland and flew as a member of the Civil Air Patrol during World War II. Her story includes so much more so you'll just have to listen in to find out!
