1930: THE GYROCOPTER FLIGHTS: Amelia was
the first woman to fly an Autogyro in 1930 and on the 8 April 1931 she set an
altitude record of 19,000 feet. Amelia undertook a transcontinental flight
across America in May~June 1930 in an endeavour to set another record only to
discover during the attempt, that the record had already been achieved by
another Pilot. Amelia flew the Autogyro at many air displays, however in
September 1931 she crash landed at an airshow in Detroit.
