My we lead boring lives these days...

Betty first rose to fame in the 1940s when, as a teenage, she was already a stunt pilot

‘Betty Skelton Erde, an aviator...’

It’s too bad that the romance and fearless adventure inherent in the word “aviatrix” seems to have disappeared from the language along with the word.

who flew planes upside down

Upside down? Who's ever heard of that?! No wonder she's dead!

Love the dress in the video.

Wish they'd bring back the 40’s dresses - when they fit a woman's body and the fabric was cut so as to drape/fall beautifully.

notice her femininity and not her feminism which she had none of. What a great woman

Have you heard about this lady?

Hope the weather’s more level there than it is here. Stay safe.
