Nancy Corrigan - Spéirbhean Acla plot

This documentary revolves around Nancy Corrigan, an Irish woman who emigrated from poverty in Ireland to America and became one of the first female pilots. She was seventeen when she left. Many of her peers in Cleveland at the time would have worked as maids for wealthy American families, but Corrigan had an entirely different plan. She wanted to fly. To finance her flight training, she began a modeling career at the prestigious New York agency Powers, where she held her own alongside some of Hollywood's most important stars of the time. During World War II, Corrigan was recruited by the United States Army.
