Blanche Stuart Scott (1885-1970), American aviator: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanche_Scott She was also the first woman to drive from New York to San Francisco.

She looks formidable.

I created that Wikipedia article on her. Early aviators is my area of interest.

These photos and the wikipedia entry made me so interested, I bought the children's biography of Scott for my daughter--so thanks, Richard Arthur Norton!
