BiographyBorn in Ciudad Bolívar on 15 August 1906, María Asunción Calcaño was the daughter of José Antonio Calcaño Sánchez and María Ruiz.[1] Keen to fly from an early age, she was sent to the United States by her company to train as a pilot, receiving her licence in November 1939.[3] On 22 February 1940, Calcaño arrived at the airfield in Ciudad Bolívar, piloting her own plane on a trip from Barcelona, accompanied by her mechanic and copilot Antonio Reyes.[4] During World War II, she worked for the U.S. Air Force, transporting aircraft parts from the factory in Seattle to Britain. In 1941, she was the first female pilot to land at the Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. After the war, she bought her own plane, returned to Caracas and in 1946 founded Ala Venezolana, the first club for civil pilots in Venezuela. Together with five male pilots, in 1959 she founded the country's first private civil aviation school.[2][1] She later married the American Frank Keeler and is subsequently referred to as Mary Keeler. She died on 17 November 1992 in Caracas.[5] See also
