Mods, not certain where to put these, but I think they are of interest to many.
A person whos relative, Sophie, was left boxes and boxes of images, to which I am digitizing. Many I cannot show due to copyright issues, but this Sophie was an early biplane stunt pilot, along with many other women, such as Clara Livingston, Aletta Hegeman who were pilots of the day. (one image shows Amelia Earhart landing on the beach in Carmel, sorry..that one is well paid for!)
I never knew that due to the war or whatever reason, many early stunt pilots were women.. Interesting images to say the least. let me know if anyone is interested in seeing more..
Titles are from the original notes on the pictures... not certain of any dates, but I am certain some members here were ride-alongs, so hopefully some more information!
