  Jacqueline Cochran (1906-1980) – more Wikipedia
  
  On March 9, 1996, the U.S. Postal Service issued a 50¢ stamp commemorating Jacqueline Cochran, the first woman to fly faster than the speed of sound. The stamp depicts Cochran after winning the 1938 Bendix Trophy air race from Los Angeles to Cleveland in just over 8 hours.
  
  First day of issue ceremonies were held at Indian Palms Resort, former site of Cochran's ranch, in Indio, California. The stamp's 50¢ denomination met the rate then in effect for international post cards mailed from the U.S. (Scott 3066) – Georgia Info
