Great bio of Katherine Stinson.   Good job.  -Skye

REMEMBERING KATHERINE STINSON She was the first woman to fly air mail in the US, and in Canada, she was the first person, man or woman, to deliver mail between Calgary and Edmonton. She set many records - Dec 11, 1917 she flew 610 miles non-stop from San Diego to San Francisco in a record 9 hrs and 10 min. She was always a supporter of the Women's Suffragette movement and equal rights for women. In 1917 she became a Red Cross Ambulance Driver in Europe, where she contracted Influenza in the waning months of WW1, which later turned into Tuberculosis in 1920 and she had to enter a Sanitarium. This also ended her glorious, short-lived flying career, as she was too frail to fly anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-RL4Gu07J4 ;

All of her stunt flying was done in A/C using the Wright control system, which uses two side mounted levers for pitch and roll, and top mounted controls for throttle and yaw. By 1914 she was flying all over the US. On July 18, 1915 she was the first woman to perform a "LOOP" in an early "Laird" biplane. She was also the first woman to fly at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-RL4Gu07J4
