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

Harriet Quimby. Purple satin. Her plane landed safely after
she and her passenger fell out of the cockpit.
