Soaring High: Celebrating Women in Aviation

Introduction: In the vast expanse of the sky, where dreams take flight and possibilities are endless, women have played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of aviation. Despite historical barriers and stereotypes, women have defied gravity, excelling in various roles within the aviation industry. This blog aims to celebrate the remarkable achievements of women in aviation, shedding light on their contributions and inspiring future generations to reach for the skies.

Historical Perspective: The journey of women in aviation dates back to the early 20th century when pioneers like Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman defied societal norms and soared into the male-dominated world of aviation. Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic, and Coleman, the first African-American woman to hold a pilot's license, set the stage for a new era of possibilities.

Breaking Barriers: The aviation industry, historically dominated by men, has seen a gradual shift with more women breaking through the barriers. Today, women can be found in various roles, including pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, mechanics, and executives. Organizations like the Ninety-Nines, founded by Amelia Earhart, continue to support and empower women in aviation, fostering a sense of community and mentorship.

Pioneering Aviators:  Women aviators have continued to make history with groundbreaking achievements. Eileen Collins, the first female Space Shuttle pilot and commander, exemplifies the heights women can reach in aerospace. Additionally, Peggy Whitson holds the record for the longest cumulative time spent in space by an American astronaut, showcasing the resilience and dedication of women in space exploration.

Commercial Aviation: In recent decades, more women have taken to the skies as commercial pilots, challenging the gender norms in this traditionally male-dominated profession. Airlines around the world are actively working to increase the representation of women in the cockpit, recognizing the valuable contributions they bring to the industry. The achievements of Captain Tammie Jo Shuts, who successfully landed Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 after an engine failure, highlight the skill and competence of women in critical situations.

Engineering and Innovation: Women have also made significant contributions to aviation engineering and innovation. Engineers like Elsie McGill, known as the "Queen of the Hurricanes," played a crucial role in aircraft design during World War II. Today, women continue to be at the forefront of aerospace engineering, contributing to advancements in technology, materials, and sustainability.

Challenges and Opportunities: Despite the progress, challenges remain, and there is still work to be done to achieve gender equality in aviation. Encouraging more girls to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and providing mentorship programs can help bridge the gender gap and create a more inclusive industry.

Conclusion: Women in aviation have come a long way, breaking barriers, achieving milestones, and inspiring future generations. Their contributions have shaped the aviation industry and paved the way for a more inclusive and diverse future. As we celebrate the achievements of women in aviation, let us continue to support and encourage the next generation of female aviators, ensuring that the sky remains limitless for all.

“AT AROUND NOON on the 5 September 1936, a pair of fisherman came across a woman floundering her way through a bog in in Cape Breton, on the eastern shores of Nova Scotia. In the background somewhere was her single-engined Percival Vega Gull aircraft, its nose buried deep in the moss and the peat and its tail sticking in the air. Blood streamed down the woman’s face and black peat went up to the waist of her formerly white overalls: ‘I’m Mrs Markham,’ she told them. ‘I’ve just flown from England.’

Taken to a local farmhouse, the aviator asked for a cup of tea and for a phone. She was directed to ‘a little cubicle that housed an ancient telephone’ built on the rocks, ‘put there in case of shipwrecks,’ she recalled. Over the line she told the operator: ‘I would like the airport notified and could you also ask someone to send a taxi for me?’

Beryl Markham, 33, had just succeeded in becoming the first person to fly non-stop, solo, from Europe to North America. She was also the first woman to fly east-west non-stop, solo across the Atlantic. Heading against the wind and into uncertain weather, it was an audacious achievement, but because she had not reached her intended destination – New York City – she initially considered herself a failure.

Within hours, however, she realised that the world saw it differently. The feat placed her alongside the greats of the golden age of aviation, not least Charles Lindbergh – the first person to fly the Atlantic solo – or Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly the Atlantic (she went east-west, like Lindburgh, with the prevailing winds) or indeed Britain’s Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in 1930.

Congratulations flooded in from around the world. Earhart told the New York Times: ‘I’m delighted beyond words that Mrs Markham should have succeeded in her exploit and has conquered the Atlantic. It was a great flight.’ And a day later Markham arrived in New York where she was feted and given a hero’s welcome – including a motorcade through the city and a suite at the Ritz-Carlton. ‘America,’ she pronounced, ‘is jolly grand.’”

In this creation, we find those who participated in the aviation legend :

Hubert Latham : winner of the Nice-Cap-Ferrat-Nice cruise in April 1910 on Antoinette VII, and air speed recordman the same week.

Orville and Wilbur Wright : After numerous glider flights between 1900 and 1902, they made their first motorized flights at the end of 1903.

Henry Farman: French aviator and industrialist. Farman's first plane was ordered in 1907 from the Voisin brothers, newly installed in Billancourt: biplane with Antoinette engine and rudder at the rear. On this aircraft, Farman will perform the first 1,000-meter flight, in a closed circuit, for which a price of 50,000 francs has been offered since 1904 by the Aéro-Club de France.

Jules Védrines: is a huge star of pre-war aviation, which displaces tens of thousands of people when it is announced on a ground. Mobilized in 1914 into the new air force, his talents enabled him to develop new air practices.

Léon Delagrange: renowned sculptor, takes a passion for this new technology where courage, dream and unconsciousness mingle. He is one of these great figures in the history of aeronautics, just like Louis Blériot, the Wright brothers or Farman ... whom he rubbed shoulders with. During his pilot career, this "flying dandy" made 260 flights, traveled 1,300 km while breaking sixteen world records for distance, duration, speed or flight.

Élisa Deroche: known under the pseudonym of Baroness Raymonde de Laroche, is a French aviator born on August 22, 1882 in Paris; she was the first woman in the world to obtain her pilot-aviator certificate on March 8, 1910. To complete this presentation, I chose one of the planes piloted by each of them to finish this magnificent photo montage.

For Canadians in eastern Canada and especially Montreal, on August 1, 1930, the sight of the enormous British Airship R-100 floating slowly past before mooring to the special mast near Montreal, was simply amazing. The airship had made a transatlantic crossing in an astounding time of under 79 hours. With a crew of 32 and carrying 6 passengers, it was the first passenger carrying flight from England to Canada. The R-100 stayed at St Hubert, south of Montreal for 10 days during which time some one million people visited the area to view the giant ship. When the sister ship R-101 crashed in France in October 1930, the R-100 was grounded and then sold for scrap the following year.

Halloween, 1911. California aviation pioneer John J. Montgomery dies in a freak accident while attempting a test flight of his glider, The Evergreen, at Evergreen, Santa Clara Valley, CA. Beginning in 1884 in San Diego County, he continued his experiments after he earned his Ph.D. at Santa Clara College (now Santa Clara University) in 1901, and joined the faculty there. Dr. Montgomery's life was dramatized in the 1947 Columbia Pictures film Gallant Journey.
