Isn't she a most beautiful pilot?

 

Elly Beinhorn was the first German woman piloting an aircraft.

She went to Afrika and Asia on adventurous flights, but I don't know details.

Must get the book about her early aviation adventures!

Twin Vickers? You must be dreaming, old boy!

 

Shooting at this girl - you should be ashamed of yourself!

But women where not allowed in the German army nor air force, so you may keep your rounds..

 

She was a beautiful lady, and she could pilot an aircraft - what more could you ask for?

 

PS: and she's no Hun - a Hunness, maybe...

(Aw, god, now I HAVE sunken down to his level of argumentation!!!)

Any pics without the flying cap? She's a looker all right! And she can fly too! Woof Woof! Even better if she was a redhead.

She could pull my prop through any day! For my part, beats the hell out of Amelia Earhart.

Nice find Olham...though I agree witk UK W about the first one. Would need to see her out of the flying gear to judge for sure.

This lady lived 100 years, 1907-2007. I had to look before I might say anything about her as I thought if she was still with us she might track me down and rack my ass. You're safe UK Widowmaker, maybe. :bye:

An early Aussie aviatrix, Nancy-Bird Walton. A true pioneer, she was flying supplies in and patients out of the rugged Australian bush and deserts when barely a teenager. She wrote an autobiography, and aptly named it after her usual greetings in those days "My God! It's a WOMAN" I had the pleasure of meeting her. She passed away last year.

drinks.gif I salute her. Just to do the things she did during that time period was Brave. She must have been a

determined and resourceful lady. Bravo to her and all that pushed the limits.

Pancho Barnes wasn't that good looking, but what a flier and test pilot.. and the 'birth" of Edwards Air Force base.

 

Walton and Beinhorn are good looking, but the first photo of Beinhorn she looks more like a man.

Thank you all for your contributions - WomenFly2 comes to my mind; a pity she left us.

 

Elly may look a bit androgynous, but why not - a woman who makes a flying license

and travels round the globe in a single seater in those pioneer days, may not be she

soft girly type.

But here's a pic without a flying cap.

 

(My god - we are talking about female pilots in a typical male style here. But what can we do?...) :grin:

     I´ll stick with the Aussie, she looks faaaaaaaaar better than the other two! But maybe a French will take the podium! 

 

    ( I´m sorry to say that 100% of my genes are male, can´t help it)

Okay, here is a French pilotess, Denise Moore.

 

 

 

And an American aviatress (?), Julia Clark.

 

 

 

(Still my heart beats most for Elly...)

I'm going with Belgian-born Hélène Dutrieu:

(and if someone tries to straighten out that overbite I'll kill 'em!)

 

 

Now, for most interesting life bio of an early aviatrix it has to be, hands down, Marthe Richard Betenfeld . "She's a very kinky girl. The kind you don't take home to mother..."

    Yes Sir, Belgium just take head in the race, even with this..... hhmmmmm......   smile!  :-)    +1

Marthe Richard, née Betenfeld (1889–1982) was a prostitute and spy.

She later became a politician and worked towards the closing of brothels in France in 1946.

 

There - what I always say about politicians! Professional liars! Even deny themselves!!

 

No, you all must be half blind from wearing the wrong goggles - Elly is the one I'd choose!
