Noggle served in the Women Airforce Service Pilots program in 1943 and 1944.
She also worked as a stunt pilot, crop duster and flight instructor.
Noggle served in the Air Force from 1952 to 1959. When she was stationed in Paris, she developed an interest in art.

Noggle received a Guggenheim Fellowship and three National Endowment for the Arts grants for her photography, which has been displayed internationally. [New York Times (August 30, 2005)]
