Fort couldn't accept the offer because she wasn't back in the continental U.S. in time, but in the fall of 1942 she was one of a handful of women to receive another invitation.
Fort's achievements as a military pilot are commemorated by an airpark named after her that was built in 1945 near her family farm.
Fort and the two dozen other women chosen for the WAFS overcame gruelling flight conditions, the Army's reluctance and sexism, and both the come-ons and the patronisation of their male colleagues, to carve out an impressive record of service as ferry pilots during World War II.
FortClark, located on US Hwy 90 on the east side of Brackettville, was established June 20, 1852 at Las Moras Springs by two companies of the First Infantry under the command of Major Joseph H. LaMotte along with an advance and rear guard of U.S. Mounted Rifles (later the 3rd Cavalry).
FortClark is perhaps most famous as the home for the Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts.
The Fort was officially deactivated in early 1946, and later that year was sold to Brown and Root Company for salvage and later used as a guest ranch.
