c. 1930 Maryse Hilsz (1901-1946), French aviator. Hilsz gained a reputation for flights of endurance. Together with Amelia Earhart, in 1933 she was awarded joint "Woman of the Year" by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. During WWII she was a member of the French Resistance.
c. 1930 Maryse Bastiè (1898-1952) and Gilda de Bankford. Bastié's fascination with flight began when she married a WWI pilot. Her husband died in a plane crash in 1926. She supported herself through aerial acrobatics, later buying her own plane. She rose to the rank of Captain in the French Air Force, and was herself killed in an air crash.
July 4, 1933 "Amelia Earhart, first lady of aviation, is shown immediately after she landed her Lockheed Vega plane at the Los Angeles Municipal Airport, July 2, after completing a transcontinental flight from the East. Miss Earhart failed to qualify, due to delays encountered on her flight. She said it was the most hazardous trip she had ever made. The crowd gave her a tremendous ovation as she brought her ship to the ground, during the second day's events of the National Air Races."

C-47 at Kearney (Miramar)

Esta foto me hace recordar, no se por qué, a la primera vez que volé, en un festival aéreo en Gral Roca, Río Negro. Yo era muy chico, tendría unos cinco años. El dichoso avión era un Douglas DC3 (o C47 Dakota, no sé), de la Fuerza Aérea Argentina. Subimos todos, mis padres, mis hermanos y yo... ¡Qué recuerdos! Sería en el año 1.977, más o menos...
En ese entonces vivíamos en Catriel, y los únicos aviones que alguna ves veíamos creo que eran Twin Otter de YPF, puede ser? Y la avioneta del aeroclub.
Mas adelante recuerdo algunos vuelos de los F27 de LADE (Incluso una vez pude convencer a mi viejo que me llevara a ver aterrizar a uno de los F27 en el aeródromo!!)
