This seems to be galbato's own creation, circa 2019. However their account email is defunct so efforts to reach them several months ago were unsuccessful.

Willa Brown was a female African-American aviation pioneer/activist. The recipe seems to be a tribute to that background by substituting bourbon for gin in the “Aviation”, although none of that is stated in the submission. The drink came out an interesting gray/green/khaki, and tasted as one would expect with the bourbon-for-gin substitution.
