Beryl Markham was a great pilot and a fabulous writer.
"Lucky Lindy" was a great pilot; but a Nazi apologist/supporter. On
balance, I personally put him in the "asshole" category.
But to comment on the original post/photo... does it bother anyone but
me that:
She's not wearing adequate rotorcraft headphones.
She's in the copilot/student seat.
She has her "off" hand filled with some little microphone or something
when it should be on the collective.
Looks to me like she's the "hostess" of a siteseeing craft, not its
pilot.
