Clipped Wings was organized in Chicago by former stewardess Jacqueline Jos Ceaser in November of 1941.  Jackie’s original concept was to perpetuate airline friendships while contributing to others who were less fortunate.

For the last  sixty years Clipped Wings has maintained a strong adherence to this credo. Today, Clipped Wings members need not have their wings clipped to join. The profile of Clipped Wings members has broadened from that of mothers and homemakers to include working women (& men) with dual roles. We now count among our members a large number of active flight attendants. Many of these members devote countless hours to help people with developmental disabilities, while enjoying the  friendship so important to Jackie’s founding ideals.
