Tough Tarbell Trivia

[Rob Wick]

Good job, Gene. That's correct.

In 1912, Tarbell had made a statement about how she believed flying to be safe but added that she had never done so. Henry Woodhouse, who was editor of Flying magazine, offered Tarbell the opportunity to fly and then asked if she would write about it for the magazine. She agreed.

Here is an article she also wrote for the American Magazine of her experiences.

Gene, you win a free flight in the plane which carried Tarbell, although I imagine you'll have to find a new pilot.
