THE She Swapped This Hat STATION CINCINNATI OHIO and made Cincinnati Wome DelVina, conductor of WCKY's daily program "It's A Womans' World" got an idea, when she overheard some women saying they didn't want their sons flying jets in the Air Force. She asked the Air Force for permission to fly in a jet, in order to prove to mothers, wives and sweethearts, that the Air Force takes no chances, and leaves nothing to chance. The rest is history. DelVina was put through every test an Air Force jet pilot gets — then, at 48,000 feet up, and at 830 miles an hour she broke the sound barrier . . . the first civilian woman to do so, as a passenger in a jet plane. From these experiences, she developed a series* of weekly programs about the Air Force from a woman's point of view, to assure her audience that, not only is the Air Force a safe place for its men, but it is the greatest safety factor today for retaining our way of life. The program has attracted national attention and DelVina received an Air Force Association citation for her contribution to a better understanding of the Air Force and its people.
