[Versatile]

First Chinese-American woman to fly for military died in fiery crash in a P-63.

Hazel Ying Lee received her pilot's license the very year she took her first flight. She was that passionate about flying.

A little more than a decade later, she died doing what she loved. The first Chinese-American woman to fly for the military, she was killed as she ferried a fighter plane from New York to Montana during World War II.
