The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club Feature Documentary Competition

Laemmle's Sunset 5
West Hollywood, CA


The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club
Directed by: Amanda Pope

A charismatic figure immortalized in Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff, Florence 'Pancho' Barnes was one of the most important women in 20th Century aviation. A tough and fearless pilot, Pancho flew on Amelia Earhart's wingtip, performed as a barnstormer throughout California, and made a name for herself as Hollywood's first female stunt pilot in the 1920's and 30's. Just before WWII she opened  'Happy Bottom  Riding Club', a ranch near Edwards Air Force Base that became a famous -- some would say notorious -- hangout for test pilots and movie stars. Pancho herself has become
something of a legend, a fascinating yet enigmatic icon whose swagger is often celebrated, but whose story is largely unknown. Until now.
