About The Documentary
"A Brief Flight" is a new, one-hour documentary that tells the inspiring true story of
Hazel Ying Lee, Chinese-American aviator of the 1930's and 40's. A pioneer in women's
aviation in both the United States and China, Hazel went on to become one pilot among an
elite group of women who flew fighter planes for the United States Army. This untold story
of service and devotion to country unfolds through original film footage, home movies, and
rare photos. Interviews with Hazel's family and flying buddies present a moving portrait
of a group of women whose love of flying allowed them to serve their country during the
difficult years of World War II.
