## Caption

On May 15, 1930, Ellen Church joined the Boeing Model 80A’s crew as the first female flight attendant.

Although Church was also a pilot, airlines didn’t hire female pilots.
Also a registered nurse, Church suggested the idea of hiring nurses as flight attendants. Flying was relatively new, and Church reasoned that having a registered nurse on board would reassure nervous passengers.
