A Monument to Cornelia Fort

Group Three

Do you know about Cornelia Fort? Cornelia Fort is a famous female pilot who was the first to die in active duty during World War Two. She should have a monument to commemorate women first being allowed in combat service. This monument should be a mural illustrating a black and white picture of her and a lot of female pilots. It is the size of a door. She is standing on the side of two flags with the U.S. flag on the left and the Japanese Flag on the right. There will also be a stone plaque with a description of who was fighting against who. She fought in World War Two and she is important because the United States would have been taken over by another country.
