I'm hoping this will spark an interest.

Here's a documentary I found but have no idea of the quality:

"Wings of their Own" 2004

Summary: "This unique documentary provides a history of women's aviation in
the 20th century. Through vintage black-and-white photographs and
interviews with over 150 women pilots, film director Mary Scott chronicles
how women (who have consistently held 6 percent of U.S. pilots' jobs)
started in early aviation (Amelia Earhart, African-American aviation
pioneer Bessie Coleman, the Ninety-Nines) and continue to blaze new trails
in commercial aviation (Delta Airlines' Captain Terry London Rinehart), the
armed forces (U.S. Air Force pilot Terry Van den Dolder), and race
competition (pilot Julie Clark). The documentary also covers aviation
history, such as the World War II-era WASP fliers (founded by Jackie
Cochran) and the Mercury 13 women astronauts-in-training."

Summary quoted (and DVD available) from he
http://www.makebelievetv.com/WingsOfTheirOwn.html

Lastly, Susan Nicosia, a professor who teaches psychology, has compiled a
long list of aviation-related movies on this web site:

Of those, these two definitely deal with women fliers (some others may
also):

"Ladies Courageous" 1944

Plot: "The story of the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, a unit of
female pilots during WW II who flew bombers from the factories to their
final destinations." From: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036529/

"Women in the Wind" 1939

Plot: "A pilot enters an aviation race in order to win enough money to pay
for her brother's medical treatment, and encounters difficulty with a rival
pilot." From: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032142/

Looks like a good movie but I don't think it will do it for a 13 year
old.

"Always" is a great flying movie with Holly Hunter as pilot, air traffic
controller, and in a love "triangle".

Thanks everyone, I've ordered a couple different movies from the
library.
I think I'll wait on the love triangle movie, I'm her dad, I only want
her
to start certain interest.
Dudley, please apologize to Patty for me, I realized what I wrote
after I
hit send.

Consider "High Road to China" Look at IMDB.com for more info.

Take care . . .

Somebody else suggested High Road to China, and i used to love to
watch this movie when i was younger. I don't that one movie did it
for me, I think I was born loving flying, but I did love to watch Bess
Armstrong fly her Tiger Moth and I never thought that there was
anything wierd or strange about it

Now I'm at the end of my 2nd year at ERAU.

I hope she catches the love of flying too.
