From a 1917 issue of The American Magazine:
A Woman Who Teaches Men How to Fly
When the science of aviation began to make people sit up and take notice, the anti-suffragists rubbed their hands in glee.
“Here is one thing that women cannot do,” they said; “women are too temperamental, too erratic, for aviation.”
But their glee soon vanished. More than one hundred of the aviators flying for England were taught and trained in the United States at the “Stinson School of Flying” at San Antonio, Texas. And the “Stinson School of Flying” is a girl! And the girl is one of the most remarkable aviators in the world! And she is only twenty years old!
