Very glad it was helpful. I was rather pleased with this biography as I was able to go beyond the general account normally found in books or online. The combination of Raymonde de Laroche and Hélène Dutrieu sounds interesting. I'm going to have to look further into the latter. She's quite a fascinating character.
@@Forgotten_Aviation I had noticed that these pioneerig women aviators were quite athletic as well; they were dancers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, equestrians, drove automobiles, etc...when WW1 came along, they found ways to serve on the front line. Apparently, they were adrenaline junkies and had a need for speed.
@@XanthusBarnabas It appears so. This is the case for some of the men as well, who start out with bicycles or motorcycles and then progress to automobiles and aircraft. Given the nature of early aircraft, basically very dangerous, they could be regarded as the ultimate of extreme sports.
What was the final cause of the crash determined to be that killed the Baroness ? I’m sure there must have been a crash investigation and report filed. Also what type of aircraft were the two flying ?
An excellent and well researched piece of work. Thanks Jerry
Thank you!
Thank you for this, it was very helpful; I am referring briefly to her, and Hélène Dutrieu, in an historical-fiction novel.

Let us not forget Harriet Quimby 1875-1912 and and Mathilde Josephine Moisant 1878-1964
Well technically nuns have been flying for quite sometime. I'm just kidding my friend. Great work here.
It's a bit long, but I wanted to do justice to the subject. Very glad you liked it.
@@Forgotten_Aviation I don't mind a longer video. The intro is nice and short and you get straight to business. That's good.
