Evelyn Burleson

[Mark Baxter]

Greetings All, I am a member of the Oregon Aviation Historical Society and am doing research on a Oregon aviatrix named Evelyn Burleson. On October 1, 1941 she flew a BL65 from Vancouver, British Columbia to Tiajuana, Mexico -NONSTOP. We would like to make a display about her at the museum and are trying to find out all we can about her and the flight. Right now we have a newspaper clipping and the information in THE TAYLORCRAFT STORY. We do not even know the N number of her ship. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark Baxter 41 deluxe, NC34034
