Laura Ingalls Sets New Longest Transcontinental Flight Record
Laura Ingalls challenged fellow women pilots to beat her new mark of 13 hours 34 minutes 5 seconds for the Los Angeles to New York leg, after completing a solo transcontinental flight that topped Amelia Earhart Putnam’s women’s record by 8 hours 33 minutes, with her radio failure costing her a potential men's nonstop record by 7 minutes. The aviatrix, 6-year veteran with six records, noted she still would have beaten the men’s record had her radio not failed near Cleveland, and she denies Putnam both of the women’s records.
