Katherine Sui Fun Cheung: The First Asian American Woman Aviator
<p>Some pioneering aviators strived to break records, such as traveling the farthest or flying the fastest. But in a field dominated by White aviators, some worked to break barriers and popularize the joy of flying among minorities. As the first Asian American woman pilot, Katherine Cheung’s main focus was to break the tradition of quiet Asian girls and teach them to fly instead.</p>
<p>Katherine Sui Fun Cheung was born in Enping, Guangdong (formerly Canton) on December 12, 1904. She graduated from Guangzhou City Pedi Women’s High School in 1921 before moving to the United States with her father at 17 years old.</p>
