โ€œAT 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 womanโ€™s face and black peat went up to the waist of her formerly white overalls: โ€˜Iโ€™m Mrs Markham,โ€™ she told them. โ€˜Iโ€™ve just flown from England.โ€™
Taken to a local farmhouse, the aviator asked for a cup of tea and for a phone. She was directed to โ€˜a little cubicle that housed an ancient telephoneโ€™ built on the rocks, โ€˜put there in case of shipwrecks,โ€™ she recalled. Over the line she told the operator: โ€˜I would like the airport notified and could you also ask someone to send a taxi for me?โ€™
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 โ€“ New York City โ€“ 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 โ€“ the first person to fly the Atlantic solo โ€“ or Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly the Atlantic (she went east-west, like Lindburgh, with the prevailing winds) or indeed Britainโ€™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: โ€˜Iโ€™m delighted beyond words that Mrs Markham should have succeeded in her exploit and has conquered the Atlantic. It was a great flight.โ€™ And a day later Markham arrived in New York where she was feted and given a heroโ€™s welcome โ€“ including a motorcade through the city and a suite at the Ritz-Carlton. โ€˜America,โ€™ she pronounced, โ€˜is jolly grand.โ€™โ€

Chasing Amelia Earhart
Today, Fictospherian Jeffrey Holloway vets the competing theories regarding what happened to Amelia Earhart, famed aviator and ghosting champion of 1937. #AmeliaEarhart #FredNoonan #missingpersons #disappearances #femaleaviators
Famed aviator Amelia Earhart (39 years old), flight navigator Fred Noonan, and their Lockheed Electra airplane disappeared over the central Pacific Oceanย on the morning of July 2, 1937 on her planned round-the-world flight.ย  Her intended destination was Howland Island (which was about halfway between Hawaii and Australia).ย  The U.S. Coast Guard had sent the cutter USCGC Itasca to Howland to helpโ€ฆ

I checked the ignition of every single aircraft in this museum, and NONE OF THEM had any keys left in them, would you believe that?! Outrageous! How is a girl supposed to hijack an airplane to go off on all sorts of adventures and search for uncharted land? This is unbelievable customer service, I'm telling you.โฃโฃโฃ โฃโฃโฃ ๐Ÿคฃโฃโฃโฃ โฃโฃโฃ โœˆโœˆโœˆโฃโฃโฃ posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CII_evNgeAl/
