The Mysterious Life of Jerrie Cobb and The JFK Assasination

Video Description

When filmmaker Mary Haverstick started pre-production on a film about the Mercury 13, which selected and tested women for spaceflight, she knew the key was the legendary Jerrie Cobb. Mary's relationship with Cobb led to her uncovering much more about the aviator and a trail that led to the CIA and the Kennedy assassination. Mary's 10-year journey resulted in her book, A Woman I Know, which chronicles her journey to uncover the secrets held by a very secretive woman. ★Buy A Woman I Know: Female Spies, Double Identities, and a New Story of the Kennedy Assassination, at The Damcasters Bookshop here (10% of each sale supports the podcast) UK only: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11015/9781915590626 ★Buy A Woman I Know: Female Spies, Double Identities, and a New Story of the Kennedy Assassination, in the US here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737399/a-woman-i-know-by-mary-haverstick/ ★View Mary's Dealey Plaza Multicam assembly of the Kennedy Assassination here: https://vimeo.com/877221401 ★Follow Mary on X/Twitter here: https://twitter.com/MaryHaverstick ★Follow Mary on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/haverfilms/ Get the latest from the Pima Air and Space Museum through the links below: ★Visit the Pima Air and Space Museum's website here: https://pimaair.org/ ★Learn more about the Titan Missile Museum here: https://titanmissilemuseum.org/ ★Find out who is in the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame here: https://pimaair.org/about-us/arizona-aviation-hall-of-fame/ ★Want to know how the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum is progressing?
