Interview with Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Maggie Gee

We were fortunate enough to interview Maggie Gee at the Chinatown Mall Culture Fair on September 19, 2010.  Ms. Gee served as a civilian aviator for the U.S. Army as part of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (“WASP”) program.  Not only was Ms. Gee a female aviator, she was helping the war effort and a Chinese-American to boot.

Last year, a young person’s book about her adventure in the WASPs was published called Sky High: The True Story of Maggie Gee. The book was written by Marissa Moss and beautifully illustrated by Carl Angel. All three were interviewed for the show. Maggie Gee is said to have later gone on to become a physicist in the Berkeley area.

The date and time of the airing of this interview will be updated later. We will also have an interview about the history of the Chinatown Culture Mall Fair and moon cakes.
