Title
Neta Snook Southern
Full Description
Neta Snook Southern, age 84, emerges from the Flight Simulator
for Advanced Aircraft at Ames Research Center. Southern, one of
the first women pilots, was Amelia Earharts flight instructor
around the year 1920. In marked contrast with what she saw at
Ames, Southern said her old plane was made of wood and cloth, had
no gas gauge, and the instrument panel consisted of an altimeter
and a dollar watch hanging from a hook.
