About Danica Tomić
Lived 1905 – 1961 (aged 55–56). Danica Tomić was an aircraft pilot.
Danica Tomić (; 25 July 1905 – 16 December 1961) was the first woman pilot in Yugoslavia and modern-day Serbia and the first woman with the pilot certification.
Danica Tomić was married to pilot Miodrag Tomić, which gave her access to books and materials related to aviation. In 1928, on the occasion of celebration of 15th anniversary of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, Tomić performed aerobatic maneuvers as a first woman in Yugoslavia to do so. For this achievement she received congratulations from the magazine Naša krila .
There is a scarcity of public records on her life after 1933. Her husband was captured by the Germans and detained as a prisoner of war. He survived and left Yugoslavia following the war and settled in the United States together with Danica.
