About 5 1/2 months before she disappeared over the Pacific. The 99s are still around.

Thanks for that added information raymodj, it adds to the story. [Just to be clear this item is not mine nor my listing -- just stumbled upon it.] But I do have an interest in early women pilots here in the USA and how they were sort of neglected in the history of flight. For example one of the earliest and best flight instructors was a woman known as Katharine who taught many famous early pilots to fly because her brothers were too busy doing other things, like showing off their airplanes, to be bothered instructing. Such was the Wright family.

ppg,
I don't know how late your "early" runs, but there were some women pilots for the 1938 National Air Mail Week flights.

Here are some early ones: https://www.spartan.edu/news/celebr...ade-history/ with several honored on US Stamps.

As an aside, with the family I had, I received a different view at times. My grandfather was a journeyman tool and die maker for Westinghouse Pacific Coast Brake Company which was started in Emeryville California in 1912 by the Westinghouse Air Brake Company (Now Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp.) As a result, he could do some machining in his spare time at the factory. That included during the time of WWII an occasional retooling of the family car's engine. He was stateside having done his bit for Uncle Sam in the Great War (WWI) as an AEF machine gunner with a Observation Balloon Company in France. However, the engine was dissembled for retooling by my grandmother a simple housewife who held no paying jobs. I must have gotten a skewed idea of the role of women growing up. What else could they or did they quietly do?

Edited for an errant "a."

A nice them. My grandmother went to school with Amelia, but I've never been able to find an item confirming that, other than official school records. I'd love to find a letter between the two, but a big NO so far.

That is some good money.
