Vintage Women in Aviation

Women fly! They walk on Wings! 
They do amazing things! 

An amazing woman in honor of Women in Aviation Week. Reno Nevada this week. Join me!
Gladys Ingalls 1924
Without a Parachute 

Mid air repair... 

"Gladys Ingalls was a member of a barnstorming troupe called the 13 Black Cats in the 1920's. Ingles was a wing walker. In this film, she shows her fearlessness in classic barnstorming fashion to save an airplane that has lost one of its main landing gear wheels. Ingalls is shown with a replacement wheel being strapped to her back and then off she goes as "Up She Goes," a duet from the era, provides the soundtrack."


She died at 82.
