When aviation was in its init was fancy, Oakes says, considered radical for a woman to involve herself in an aspect, be it pilot, passenger or even promoter. But in spite of all the obstacles family, friends, training, funds, women wanted to fly, equipment and fly they did. The first American woman to a balloon pilot her own aircraft was Mary H. Myers at Little Falls, N.Y., in 1880. satin plum-colore- d flying suit. Yet, the daring exploits of Harriet Quimby and other early female aviators have been a little known chapter in the annals of flight. That is one oversight that Claudia Oakes, assistant curator Myers, later billed professionally as Carlotta, the Lady Aeronaut, became known throughout the Northeast for her ballooning skills and was often hired to perform at festivals. In 1886, she established a new world altitude record of 4 miles in a balloon filled with natural gas a record instead of hydrogen even more astonishing because she did it without using oxygen Mrs. -- I, or call Toll Free CPPP (801) 326 4314 old, she said.

They were willing passengers in the flying machines, though the flights were such rarities that they were treated as hard news. rr Georgia Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to parachute from an airplane over Griffith Park in Los Angeles; Lillian Todd, of New York City, the first woman to design her own aircraft, and Julia Clark, the first U.S. woman killed in an airplane crash, in 1912 at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. If any one thing can set these women apart, it would be their independence. These women were leading unusual lives even before getting into aviation, Oakes said. Take Blanche Scott, hired by the Willys Overland Company to drive an Overland car from New York to San Franciso as a publicity stunt, thus becoming the first women to coast by drive coast - to automobile. While passing through Dayton, Ohio, she learned of the existence of the Wright School and became interested in flying. Later that same year, 1910, she became the first American woman to solo. Or consider Bessica Raiche of Beloit, Wise. Bessica was indeed a for one thing, modem woman she wore bloomers. She also drove a car and liked to shoot and swim, all of which were considered masculine endeavors. But what really set her home town buzzing was the French husband she brought back from an overseas trip. Bessica also began flying in 1910, but lost out to Blanche Scott as the first woman to solo. With her husband she later formed the French - American Aeroplane Company, designing and building wanted to be the first woman to fly across the English Channel and In 1912 she did that, too, she said. Harriets Unfortunately, career was shortlived. She and a male passenger crashed during a flying flamboyant at the routine flying exhibition 1912 Harvard - Boston Aviation Meet and both were killed. Oakes points Interestingly, out, no accounts of the accident laid the blame on the fact that the pilot was a woman. Even the serious aviation journals of the day blamed the aircraft an its structure as the cause of the tragedy. It looked as though women as aviators had arrived. By World War I, women had proven were they capable, dedicated, qualified flyers. Though they may have been oddities, their skills were recognized and admired. Yet the U.S. government steadfastly refused to allow them to join the Air Services and fly in combat, an issue still in dispute today, more than half a centurjr later. Some women, though, did find to put their special skills to ways her own airplanes. In fund raising flights for Never one to be content with use the Red Cross and liberty Loans, traditional womans work, Bessica returned to school to study by lending their famous names to medicine after her retirement the recruiting effort and by from aviation and became a training future military pilots at private airfields. practicing physician.
