Shout out to Ms. Vivian 'Millie' Bailey, who just celebrated her 104th birthday (Feb. 3rd)🥳

U.S. Army First Lieutenant Vivian "Millie" Bailey was one of the first African American women pilots and one of only two black women to earn superior rank at her officer's course. She was a lieutenant in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, serving from 1942 to 1946 as the Unit Commander of the Women's Detachment #2. Later, Mrs. Bailey served as a commander of the all-female detachment before being selected to attend the Adjutant General School Officers' Administration Course. As one of only two Black women in the class, she graduated with outstanding marks and went on to serve for the first time with an unsegregated unit.
