Seeking information on Edith Maud Cook
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 10:44 am
Hello everyone,
I'm researching a book on Edith Maud Cook who was the first British woman to fly, and I'm specifically curious to know if anyone knows of her flying at any meetings between January and July 1910. I came across a news article from May 1910 yesterday that stated she had "gained experience at several meetings on the Continent". Might she have have flown non competitively?
She was studying at Bleriot's school at Pau under the name Viola Spencer-Kavanagh.
By the way, fantastic site, I got lost looking at all the meetings yesterday, you have so much information here!
Thanks ever so
