Women Pilots

Thea Rasche, Europe’s foremost aviatrix is a native of Bremen, Germany, and has been flying for the past six years. She flies as a business and will try and stunt in an airplane at least once. She flew a plane under the Brooklyn Bridge a short time after her arrival in the United States, an outstanding feat. She has been in this country for more than a year, after learning to fly in her homeland. She came originally to attempt a trans-Atlantic flight, but that failed, and she stayed to fly in any event open to her. She is flying a Gypsy Moth. Taken from The Tulsa Tribune and The Beacon Phone, 1929.
