Harriet Quimby - E-book - ePub

Harriet Quimby, American aviator and journalist, was a true hero. She was the first American woman to get a pilot's license, the first to fly at night, and the first woman to ever fly across the English Channel. She was a daring woman, who was always in search of a new challenge. Though she had only had her pilot's license for eleven months, Harriet Quimby became one of the most famous pilots in the dawn of aviation.
She was an inspiration for future women aviators - including Amelia Earhart, Jackie Cochran, and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
