Harriet Quimby

Harriet Quimby - Women in history (26/?)

On April 16, 1912 Harriet Quimby flew from Dover to Équiphen-Plage (Pas-de-Calais), making her the first woman to fly an aircraft across the English channel. This gained her world-wide recognition.

There is little know about the early life from Harriet; we don't even know for sure when she was born. It is assumed she was born on May 1, 1875 in Coldwater, Michigan (USA). We do know however that by 1902, she and her family were living in California. In the same year, she became a writer for the journal Dramatic Review. A year later, Harriet moved to New York City and started working for Leslie's Weekly as a drama critic.

Harriet later became interested in aviation. She started classes at the Moisant School of Aviation at Hempstaed (Long Island). On August 1, 1911, Harriet became the first woman to qualify for a license from the Aero Club of America (the U.S. branch of the Fédération Aéronautique International). This made her the second licensed woman pilot in the world (first licensed woman: baroness de la Roche). On April 16, 1912, Harriet flew from Dover to the continent, making her the first woman to do so. Unfortunately, on July 1 of the same year, Harriet lost control when flying her Blériot over Dorchester Bay. Both she and her passenger were killed in this accident. Eventhough Harriet died young, she still influenced the role of women in aviation.

Imaginez-la scène : depuis la terrasse de la villa Les Mouettes, grande comme un mouchoir de poche, et à l’aide d’un tremplin construit à cet effet, Roland et Emile déposent le Blériot XI-80 sur la plage. N’écoutant que son courage, dont il fallait une sacrée dose pour mener à bien de tels exploit, Roland Garros décolle de la plage de Houlgate et établi donc son record : 16 273 pieds !

On This day in History April 16, 1912: Aviatrix Harriet Quimby (May 11, 1875 – July 1, 1912) becomes the first woman to fly across the English Channel when she flew her Blériot XI monoplane from Dover England to Hardelot-Plage, Pas-de-Calais France. The first person to fly across the English Channel was Louis Blériot, who the plane that Quimby flew in her historic flight was named after. In terms of what kind of plane she flew, Amelia Earhart described the Blériot XI as being “hardly more than a winged skeleton with a motor.” 

For her flight aross the English Channel, Quimby would earn the moniker of “America’s First Lady of the Air.” She would tragically die at an airshow in Quincy, Massachusetts on July 1, 1912. Quimby’s and her passengers would be pitched from the plane mid-flight.

Blériot Plage, 2022

[flyplaneguy]

16 April 1912: American aviatrix Harriet Quimby flew across the English Channel in a Blériot XI monoplane. She departed Dover at 5:30 a.m. and crossed a fog-shrouded channel to land at Hardelot-Plage, Pas-de-Calais, 1 hour, 9 minutes later. Her only instruments were a hand-held compass and a watch. Quimby was the first woman to fly across the channel, but that was not her only “first”: On 11 August 1911, she had become the first American woman to be licensed as a pilot. She was known for her purple satin flying suit. Harriet Quimby was killed at Quincy, Massachusetts, 1 July 1912, when her Blériot XI, circling the airfield at 1,500 feet (457 meters) suddenly pitched down and she and her passenger were thrown out.
