They were considered weak, fickle, prone to hysteria, incapable of withstanding the rigors of a profession as tough as that of a pilot... An airplane is no place for women, they said. But they accepted the challenge, risked their lives like their male colleagues, crossed continents, crossed oceans, broke records, and earned the respect of their colleagues and the love of the public.
They were considered weak, fickle, prone to hysteria, incapable of withstanding the rigors of a profession as tough as that of a pilot... An airplane is no place for women, they said. But they accepted the challenge, risked their lives like their male colleagues, crossed continents, crossed oceans, broke records and earned the respect of their colleagues and the love of the public.
At a time when, in most countries, women did not even have the right to vote, they proved that the prejudices and clichés of the society in which they were born were meaningless.
They were daring, courageous, ambitious, reckless... They were Aviators.
