INTREPID AIRWOMAN
LADY BAILEY CROSSES AFRICAN WILDS HAZARDOUS VENTURE British Official Wireless Recd. Noon. RUGBY, Friday. A message has been received in London stating that Lady Bailey, wife of Sir Abe Bailey, has arrived in a Moth airplane at Loanda, in Portuguese East Africa. She left Elizabethville, in the Belgian Congo, on September 24, with the intention of flying to England by the West Coast of Africa, since the
British authorities had fox-bidden her to fly alone across the dangerous parts of East Africa and the Sudan. Lady Bailey had flown for ten days over West African territory that is almost unknown from an aviation point of view. It is one of the most hazardous flights ever undertaken by a woman. The distance from Elizabethville to Loanda is about 1,000 miles.
