Her father died in the epidemic and her mother remarried to Donald Prentiss Liscomb, cousin.
[1] Liscomb was a 21-year-old stewardess in 1936, when she married a pilot, Elrey Borge Jeppesen, and was required to stop flying.
She remained interested in aviation, and in 1939 was voted one of the directors of the Salt Lake City chapter of the Women's National Aeronautic Association.
The manuals were an established resource for pilots before the start of World War II, which increased demand for them.
[5] Nadine Jeppesen received the National Aeronautic Association's Katharine Wright Award in 1994, for significant contributions to aviation.
