One of eight children born to John W. and Lanie C. Bragg, she joined the WASPs during WWII and was honorably discharged.

1939

1944

In 1944, following her dream to be a full-time pilot, Pearl moved to Nome, Alaska and worked as a flight instructor and bush pilot.

Her adventures as a pilot involved everything from Powder Puff Derbies to filling her tank with water instead of gasoline.

Lew Laska died four months later at the age of 50.
