These short biographies in the Great Women in Aviation Series tell the stories of notable women pilots whose passion for flight inspires young and old alike to take to the skies. This 1,700 monograph is not meant to be a comprehensive history of Blanche Stuart Scott's life, but it discusses her involvement in aviation, and the positive message she conveys. The main purpose of this biography is to inspire youth to follow their dreams of flight. This will make an excellent source for a book report or other paper.
In learning to fly Scott said, “I learned in two days,” said Scott. “The plane had a 33-horsepower motor and we sat out in front. "The technique was for the instructor to way 'good bye and God bless you,' and you were on your way. They had you cutting grass, flying just above the ground, which we know today is very dangerous."
