SABİHA GÖKÇEN




Sabiha Gökçen was born on March 22, 1913 in Bursa as the sixth child of Mustafa İzzet Bey and Hayriye Hanım.

After the death of his parents, he was adopted by Atatürk, who visited Bursa in 1925 and was given the surname "Gökçen".

Sabiha Gökçen, who studied at Çankaya Primary School and İstanbul Üsküdar Girls' College, entered the Turkish Aviation School of the Turkish Aeronautical Association in 1935. She got high glider badges in Ankara.


Gökçen, together with 7 male students, was sent to Crimea, Russia and completed his high glider training.In 1936, he entered Eskişehir Military Air School, where he performed successful missions with hunting and bomber aircraft, and won the title of "Female Fighter Pilot" in the world.

She was awarded with the "No.9 Murassa (Pride) Medal" of the Turkish Aeronautical Association in 1937 because she was the first female pilot trained by the Turkish Aeronautical Association.



Gökçen, who made a Balkan tour with his plane at the invitation of the Balkan states in 1938, was later appointed to the Turkish Aeronautical Association Türkkuşu. She successfully carried out this duty until 1955

Sabiha Gökçen, who flew with 22 different light bombers and acrobatic planes throughout her life and received many awards, received the International Aviation Federation Gold Medal in 1991.

Selected as one of the 20 aviators who made her name in the world aviation history at the Eagles Meeting held in the USA in 1996, Sabiha Gökçen became the first female aviator to be awarded this award.

Sabiha Gökçen died on March 22, 2001 at the age of 88. 



Sabiha Gökçen is a source of inspiration for all female pilots of the world and her legend will continue to live with us.
