Solo Flight by Lady Heath to Africa Sets Record
Lady Heath completes the longest solo flight by a woman arriving in Paris at Le Bourget after 10 000 miles over Africa in three months. She describes smooth flying, reads books between hops, and notes a minor wing damage near Tripoli from misidentified fire. She also recalls a buffalo hunt in Kenya and dances in the evenings, packing a tool kit as essential baggage.
