FLY: Aviation’s Pioneer Women

I have lifted my plane . . . for perhaps a thousand flights and I have never felt her wheels glide from the Earth into the air without knowing the uncertainty and the exhilaration of first-born adventure.

—Beryl Markham
First person to fly solo across the
Atlantic Ocean the “hard way” against
the headwinds, 1936
