During World War II, Beverly served at Merced Army Air Field and Las Vegas Army Air Field, towing targets to help train military pilots to use machine guns to attack enemy aircraft. She flew the PT-13, AT-6, BT-13, and B-26 Marauder.
In March 2016, at "The Greatest Generation Meets The Next Generation: Women in Flight" event in Carlsbad, FlyGirls was happy to help Beverly cross something very important off her bucket list--flying in the AT-6!
