LASTWOODSMAN | 26-Jan-17 11:03 | REMEMBERING KAHTERINE STINSON She was the 4th woman in the US to obtain a Pilot's Certificate on July 24, 1912 at age 21. By 1913, at age 22, she flew a Wright Model B Flyer on Exhibitions Circuits, billing herself as the "Flying Schoolgirl". All of her stunt flying was done in A/C using the Wright control system, which uses two side mounted levers for pitch and roll, and top mounted controls for throttle and yaw. By 1914 she was flying all over the US. On July 18, 1915 she was the first woman to perform a "LOOP" in an early "Laird" biplane. She was also the first woman to flly at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-RL4Gu07J4 |
