- Summary
- Pilot Dorothy Layne McIntyre was born on January 27, 1917 in Le Roy, New York. She completed her elementary and secondary education in Le Roy, enrolled in West Virginia State College and was accepted into the Civilian Pilot Training Program. She received her pilot's license from the Civil Aeronautics Authority in 1940, becoming one of the first African American licensed pilots among American women. During World War II, she taught aircraft mechanics at War Production Training School in Baltimore, Maryland while simultaneously working as secretary for Baltimore's Urban League. She applied for admission to WASP, a program staffed by women pilots ferrying bombers during the War, but was denied because of her race. She moved to Cleveland, Ohio and worked as a bookkeeper for businessman, Alonzo Wright. She taught briefly in Cleveland Public Schools and was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen's Alumni Association. McIntyre passed away on August 30, 2015 at age 98.
