Sister Mary Aquinas Kinskey, OSF was an expert and teacher of aerodynamics and aviation. She was also an accomplished pilot. == Biography == Mary Kinskey was born in 1894 in Zanesville, Ohio. She entered a Franciscan convent in 1911 at the age of 17. It seems likely that she joined the order of Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity - one branch of Franciscan movement - though sources are not specific about this. She then graduated from the Catholic University of America in 1926 and started work as a high school teacher. According to the Notre Dame Archives and News, “She became a teacher and her interest in aviation stemmed from the enthusiasm for the subject from her students.” She retired to the Manitowoc convent after suffering a stroke in 1977. There she remained until her death in 1985.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19851021&id=Y24aAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VioEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2468,440597&hl=en〕 She was referred to as "Spike" and "Flying Nun". The latter moniker caused speculation about her possible influence on the TV show The Flying Nun.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1985/10/23/us/sister-mary-aquinas-is-dead-pilot-inspired-tv-flying-nun.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Aquinas Kinskey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
