India Four Two,

In response to your post I have emailed Daniel DeMay,the Seattle journalist who wrote the story,asking where the solo claims came from.

Curtis-Taylor has done several major solo flights now, retracing the steps of pioneering women in flight, including Amy Johnson, who was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930

I have asked him if the above was "misreporting".

That was an allegation levelled at the press in last Saturday's Times.

She admits she could have done more to correct misleading reports that made liberal use of the phrase “flying solo”.

“I wish we’d sorted that misreporting out but I can’t do everything all of the time,” she said.
Can I suggest some of you also write to Daniel? It will be interesting to see if he was sent a press release with those solo claims.
