Timeline of women in aviation

Four female pilots walking toward the camera away from a large aircraft
These pilots leaving their ship at the four-engine school at Lockbourne are members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPS), trained to ferry the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, c. 1944.

This is a timeline of women in aviation which describes many of the firsts and achievements of women as pilots and other roles in aviation. Women who are part of this list have piloted vehicles, including hot-air balloons, gliders, airplanes, dirigibles and helicopters. Some women have been instrumental in support roles. Others have made a name for themselves as parachutists and other forms of flight-related activities. This list encompasses women's achievements from around the globe.
