Английская Википедия:Bedriye Tahir Gökmen
Bedriye Tahir Gökmen was an aviator from Turkey. She was the first Turkish woman to earn a pilot license.[1]
Life
Tahir trained at the Vecihi Hürkuş Private Flying School and earned her license in 1933.[1] However, her employer did not approve of her flying, and reduced her salary as a punishment. Nevertheless, she graduated from the flight school in 1934, and applied to the Undersecretary of the Air Force to get her license confirmed. The office sent a team of inspectors to the school, however, unfortunately due to an accident, the school did not have any aircraft available for Tahir to use to demonstrate her skills.[2] The team did not return, and the school closed later the same year.[3]
A Turkish parachutist, Abdurrahman Türkkuşu, gave her the nickname Gökmen Bacı ("Sister of the Blue Skies").[2] In 1934, when the Turkish Surname Law was introduced, she took the surname Gökmen.[3]
