Anne Noggle (1922-2005) was a photographer, aviator, and trailblazer. After serving as a WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) during WWII, she became a crop duster and stunt pilot.
Noggle often explored the subject of women and aging, or what she called “the saga of the fallen flesh.” Many of her photographs disrupt traditional views and clichés of aging women.
Flying was Noggle’s first love. She returned to this topic in her later years producing two large-scale series: one of women pilots in the US and another of Soviet women pilots who served their countries during WWII, which will be on display at the JP Gallery.
