1917 B&W aircraft images
A friends relative was one of the early stunt pilot Sophie (have forgotten last name)..back then, it was a group of women as the men were at war. There was a box of images so I have been scanning them.
Aletta Hegeman, Clara Livingston, and others that I dont recognize. There are landings on the beach in Carmel, and group trips to Hong Kong and China...

Very interesting photos - thanks for posting. That 'out of the window' shot appears to be upside-down and I wish I could recall the type. Hopefully someone will come along...

The out of the window shot - something that Greg Herrick has in his amazing collection perhaps?

The upside down pic is the Tri Motor cockyjester? I wondered about that but I didn't think they had that lovely pattern on the metal - engine turning is it called?
