Jerrie Cobb was the first woman selected to join Mercury 13, an elite group of women pilots being trained as astronauts in 1960. When film maker Mary Haverstick decided to make a feature film about Jerrie, she soon discovered that Jerrie Cobb seemed to have another identity - June Cobb who was a CIA spy involved in assassination attempts in Cuba and the Congo. She may even have played a role in the assassination of JFK.
