flying hours this lady had before she disappeared

I've never seen a tally, but a some information from her biography might
give a clue.

She learned to fly in 1921, and bought her own airplane that year. She
was only an amateur, but set a couple of records for women fliers, like
altitude and distance, on her own. In 1928, she was invited to
participate in a trans-Atlantic publicity flight, and from that point on
was dedicated to flying and publicity as a career. She entered many
races, and flew various endurance flights, until she attempted the RTW
flight in 1937.

Overall, I'd say she had a fair number of hours in her log when she
disappeared.
