  In 1932, Hazel Ying Lee, a nineteen-year-old American daughter of Chinese immigrants, sat in on a friend's flight lesson. It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy. 
   
   
   
  In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred, she forged ahead and gave her all for the cause, achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible. 
   
   
   
  American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirted fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history. She broke every common belief about women. She challenged every social restriction to endure and to succeed. And against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hazel Ying Lee reached for the skies and made her mark as a universal and unsung hero whose time has come.

  Why Stupid People Think They're...

  The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited knowledge or ability in a certain area overestimate their competence. It is named after social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first identified the phenomenon in a 1999 study. The effect highlights a curious and often frustrating contradiction: those who are least skilled in a particular domain are often the most confident in their abilities. This psychological phenomenon is not just a theoretical curiosity—it has real-world consequences for individuals and society. 
    
  At the heart of the Dunning-Kruger Effect is the relationship between self-perception and actual competence. It’s common for people to assume that their understanding of a topic or skill is more advanced than it truly is, especially in areas where they have little experience. This overconfidence stems from ignorance: when you don’t know what you don’t know, you are unaware of the gaps in your knowledge. In fact, research suggests that the less a person knows about a subject, the more likely they are to overestimate their abilities in that area. Conversely, those who are highly skilled tend to underestimate their competence, as they are more aware of the complexities and nuances of the field. 
    
  The Dunning-Kruger Effect also underscores the significant role that confidence plays in shaping how we perceive ourselves and others. Confidence is often mistaken for competence, leading people to believe that an individual’s self-assurance is a reflection of their skill or knowledge. However, confidence can be a double-edged sword: while it can motivate people to pursue challenges and opportunities, it can also prevent them from recognizing their own limitations. This creates a dangerous feedback loop where overconfidence leads to poor decisions and missed learning opportunities.
