Kimberly's Flight

The Story of Captain Kimberly Hampton, America's First Woman Combat Pilot Killed in Battle

Beschreibung

U.S. Army Captain Kimberly N. Hampton was living her dream: flying armed helicopters in combat and commanding an armed reconnaissance aviation squadron. She rapidly rose through the ranks in the almost all-male bastion of military aviation to command a troop.

Autor

Kimberly's mother, Ann Hampton, first met Anna Simon at the bleakest point in her life, immediately following her daughter's death, when Ms. Simon wrote a series of stories for The Greenville News about Kimberly's life and the reaction in the small Southern town of Easley, SC to her death. Ann has traveled twice to Iraq, in 2010, as a Gold Star Mom in a "Hugs for Healing" program sanctioned by the U.S. State Department, where American and Iraqi mothers grieving the deaths of their children worked side-by-side on humanitarian projects, and in 2011 on a humanitarian mission with "Friends of Kurdistan."
