Black-and-white 1911–1912 portrait of Harriet Quimby, the first American woman to earn a pilot’s license. She leans confidently out of the cockpit of her monoplane, smiling broadly. Wearing a leather flying helmet and her signature purple satin flying suit (converted from a hooded jumpsuit), scarf tucked in; the aircraft’s wooden propeller and struts frame the shot.

Celebrating American aviator Harriet Quimby on #CivilAviationDay!

Quimby was the first woman in the US to obtain a pilot's license (1911) & in 1912, she became the first woman to fly across the English Channel (her only instruments: hand-held compass & a watch).

Black-and-white graphic featuring pilot Helen Richey, the first woman hired by a U.S. commercial airline (1934). She smiles confidently in classic aviator gear: leather flying helmet, goggles pushed up on her forehead, and leather jacket. To the right, a dark blue panel quotes Air Line Pilots Association president David L. Behncke in 1934: “Women are temperamentally unfit for airline transport flying, especially in bad weather… They become nervous & excited under strain.”

Helen Richey was the first woman pilot hired by a US commercial airline (1934). The all-male pilots’ union pressured the airline to remove her, claiming women were “temperamentally unfit” to fly in bad weather.

She proved them spectacularly wrong & resigned in 1935. #CivilAviationDay #aviation

I'm so counter-suggestive that when I heard it's #CivilAviationDay the first image that came to mind was Ares and Aphrodite flying in, with Eros on the plane's engines, to join the gods' fight with the giants, most uncivilly. Made in Athens. Deported to Louvre. Amphora c. 405 BCE.
