The International Ninety-Nines’ Compass Rose logo and monogram was designed by Los Angeles chapter member Wilma Fritschey in 1939, and is still used today. Santa Monica Airport’s Compass Rose is a directional piece of navigation used by pilots with both historical and functional significance. We are raising money in support of both roles.

Help us meet our Compass Rose Preservation Fundraising Goal to keep it a part of aviation history and a piece of functional art by donating now.
