It may be factual, and probably accurate, but it is awfully DRY.
The primary aim is to inspire. Nobody is likely to question about missing facts or milestones. Even as a flying geek I have never heard of ~8 of the first 12 in the list.
Clearly they didn't inspire historical authors of old.

So then , which females do I feel were both inspirational and overlooked?
- Amelia Earhart
- Amy Johnson
- The whole of the ATA
- Christa McAuliffe

Which events (sometimes called facts) do I feel inspirational?
- Louis Bleriot crossing the Channel
- Some others in your huge list.

There is one factor that I've ignored. Presumably you have a specific audience. Being Nationalistic is a solid move for being inspirational. UK folk ignore many US folk, and the other way around it's even more parochial.
