Christian Heroes: Then and Now: Betty Greene (Flying High)

"Betty climbed with the Grumman seaplane to two thousand feet... Suddenly, there was silence. Complete silence. The engine had stopped. The passengers gasped, but Betty knew she couldn't lose her composure. They only had a remote chance of survival: the winding river that snaked through the jungle below them."

Growing up on the shores of Lake Washington, young Betty Greene had two great passions: a love for Christ and a love for aviation. As a young WASP pilot in World War II, Betty dreamed of combining both passions by using wings to serve God.

Betty's dream came true when she helped found Wings of Relief. Her exciting adventures and service helped create what is now a global organization operating more than eighty aircraft in nineteen countries.
