Elizabeth Everts Greene (24 June 1920 – 10 April 1997), known as Betty Greene, was an American missionary pilot.
Greene was born in Seattle on 24 June 1920, and started taking flying lessons in 1936.[1][2] She studied at the University of Washington and served in the Women Airforce Service Pilots in World War II.[3]
Greene was a devout Presbyterian, and helped found Mission Aviation Fellowship.[4] She made its first flight in 1946 when she transported two missionaries of Wycliffe Bible Translators in a Waco UPF-7 biplane to a remote jungle location in Mexico.[1][5][3][6] Later that year she became the first woman to fly over the Andes mountains.[7]
Greene died on 10 April 1997.[4][8] She was inducted into the Women in Aviation International Pioneer Hall of Fame in 2017.[9]
