Women Circling the Earth First


Who was the first woman to successfully circumnavigate the globe alone in a small plane? She is Geraldine "Jerrie" Mock Fredritz. Today is the birthday of success in making that record.
Mock, women born 22 November 1925, had been interested in aviation since childhood. When children are also known as a tomboy and she loves to play with their peers that of men. This differs from the two brothers who are all women.
When the age of 12 years he had the opportunity to fly and sit in the cockpit. The incident caused a strong desire to be a pilot. So as he sat in the high school he took courses to be an aviator. When it's from all the students who follow the course, he was the only female. Eventually he became a pilot.
Opportunities around the world using a small plane and come alone. The opportunity was not utter. So in March 1964 he was flown using a Cessna 180, named Spirit of Columbus. Right on 17 April 1964, he managed to circumnavigate the globe for 29 days and became the first woman to do so.
