It was also a way to earn a living. There's good money in
show business.

There was also that gorgeous gal in the tailor-made purple jumpsuit.
Alas, she didn't have a seatbelt, and she fell out of her aircraft
during a show over Boston.

Far from giving her the Darwin award, however, the world has seen her
face on a U.S. postal stamp. Oh, what was her name? She was so pretty
too in that purple jumpsuit. I want to call her Gloria but I don't
think that's right.

skills.

I'd nominate Jean Batten of NZ for top honors in courage,
skill, and luck:

I'm reading Alone In The Sky now.

She wasn't all there psychologically, but neither am I. ;o)


I haven't found anything to support that allegation yet in her book.
She seem to have had a lot of pluck from an early age, and the skills
and courage to succeed. My hat's off to her. I wouldn't have
attempted an around the world flight at her tender young age in the
aircraft available in the '30s. In fact, I wouldn't do it now.

It's pretty apparent that was what motivated Jim Millison to wed Amy
Johnson.

David, just a secondary thought. This search sounds just like the sought of
thing Australian aviation guru and multimillionaire Dick Smith might be
interested in . You probably know about the successful search he conducted
for the Kookaburra, an aircraft that crashed in the Northern territory of
Australia in about 1929 ( the 2 pilots died of thirst and the aircraft was
found but left in the bush for 70 years to be lost again) He found the
remains of the aircraft which are now in a museum in Alice Springs. He has
his own helicopter too.!
Have you ever tried to interest him in your search?
