On this day, 73 years ago, on March 8, 1952 (February 13, 1952, the lunar calendar), New China cultivated the first batch of all female pilots. New China's first batch of female pilots had just been founded, and the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao Zedong made the decision to train female pilots. In April 1951, the first batch of 55 female students from all over the country were assigned to Mudanjiang Seventh Aviation School. Its predecessor was the famous "Northeast Old Aviation School". At that time, the learning conditions and living environment of the aviation school were very difficult. Not only were the barracks dilapidated, but even the aircraft used were dilapidated. They lacked equipment and parts, so only several aircraft shared a pair of propellers and tires. It was in this extremely difficult situation that they began theoretical study and flight training. On March 8, 1952, Chairman Zhu De and other central leaders attended their test flight ceremony at Xijiao Airport. More than 7000 women representatives from all walks of life in the capital, wives of envoys from various countries in China and Chinese and foreign journalists gathered at Beijing's Xijiao Airport to watch the female pilot's take-off ceremony. At 1:10 pm, the six "Li-2" aircraft under review took off and were reviewed by the party and the people in a neat follow-up formation. China girls are flying into the sky! The good news reached Zhongnanhai. On the afternoon of March 24, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and other party and state leaders cordially received all the first batch of female pilots at Yiniantang in Zhongnanhai. At 5 o'clock sharp, the tall and muscular figures of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou appeared at the door. The team immediately broke out into warm applause and cheers. Chairman Mao was full of energy and walked towards them with a kind smile. Dear Premier Zhou happily introduced them. They applauded and cheered enthusiastically. Chairman Mao looked at them lovingly and asked the Air Force Commander: Are they all good?" "Success. "The Air Force Commander replied. Chairman Mao nodded in satisfaction. Sit down and take photos with them. Chairman Mao said to everyone: "The girl is not simple. She flies so high! Train yourself to be pilots for the people, not actors." Chairman Mao's cordial care gave them such an inspiration! After the reading ceremony, the first batch of female pilots were ordered to form a new aviation unit. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the first batch of young female pilots bravely participated in the war and carried out air transport missions.
