So, what happens with Erharts career post flight? After the photo ops, interviews, and parade are over. What were her career prospects?
She had done a short stint on the faculty at Purdue University. Theres hints she was bored with the situation and unable to connect to the students. Are those correct or was there a chance she would continue at Purdue or perhaps another school? I am assuming she would have a role in the Army AF in WWII. Tho I have no idea what it might have been. Did she have the administrative ability to serve as more than just a pilot? Or maybe a specialty like test pilot or in a engineering planning position.
What about post war? What would play to her strengths into the 1950s.
