The field was wet, the lane was wet, and the spirits of my mechanic and helper were damp.

No borders, just horizons - only freedom.

Everyone has ocean's to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationships of women with the creations of science.

My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of commercial flying and for the women who may want to fly tomorrow's planes.

I lay no claim to advancing scientific data other than advancing flying knowledge. I can only say that I do it because I want to.

Worry retards reaction and makes clear-cut decisions impossible.
