lauretta foy, of eddie foy and the seven little foys, she was the smallest in this vaudeville family of the 20's and 30's. lauretta ferried hundreds of aircraft across the atlantic. after the war she became the first western woman helicopter pilot and worked for bell helicopters for many years.

a great lady, i hope that she is still around, if so, hi lauretta.
