  1. I cant believe how majestic Turkish country was back then.

  2. Also; Sabiha Gökçen was an orphan and was adopted by Atatürk.

  3. Wait until you hear where she did her “combat piloting”

  4. She was an adopted child of Ataturk (1 of 8). She joined more than 30 military operations. She had bigger balls than most men.

  5. You would expect first black pilot to be from USA but hell nah

  6. According to what I have read, they both died because they didn’t know how to land the plane.

  7. The west has so much to learn from Turkey when it comes to fighting racism
