The Broadway Radio Hour is honored to welcome BEVERLEY BASS, the first female Captain in the history of AMERICAN AIRLINES to the program!

Beverley's remarkable true story is told in the hit Broadway musical COME FROM AWAY. She shares with us how her passion for aviation began at a very early age and takes us on an interesting journey from her first job working for a mortician flying dead bodies to her well chronicled transatlantic flight on September 11, 2001. The jumbo jet she was piloting was one of 38 flights diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11. A candid account of the days following as well as the upliting spirit and amazing generosity of a small town that welcomed the world!
