Down the memory lane (Part 1)

Baroness Raymonde de Laroche was born on 22 August 1882. She was the first woman to fly a ‘powered heavier-than-air craft.’ Since the plane could only accommodate one person, she learnt and flew solo with her instructor throwing instructions at her from the ground. I don’t know how she could hear him! She went on to become the first woman to ever hold a flying license. On 18th July 1919 she co-piloted an aircraft which dived and crashed, killing her and her co-pilot. She was indeed a brave woman.
