Fall Banquet

Guest Speaker – Mary Feik
From Feik family sources and Maryland Aloft: A Celebration of Aviators, Airfields, and Airspace by Edmund Preston, Barry A. Lanman and John R. Breihan.

After overhauling her first automobile engine when she was 13, Mary Feik turned to aircraft engines and military aircraft at the age of 18, eventually teaching aircraft maintenance to crew chiefs and mechanics for the U.S. Army Air Force in 1942.

During WWII, Feik became an expert on many military aircraft and is credited with becoming the first woman engineer in research and development in the Air Technical Service Command’s Engineering Division at Wright Field, Ohio.

At a time when men dominated the cockpits of military aircraft, Mary Feik logged more than 5,000 hours as a B-29 flight engineer, engineering observer, and pilot in fighter, attack, bomber, cargo, and training aircraft.
