civilian to fly the mail in canada on a flight from calgary to edmonton alberta in 1918 16 until she acquired a curtiss jn 4d jenny all of her stunt flying was done in aircraft using the wright

wright plane but before the curtiss u s airmail service edit after the u s entered world war i in 1917 the government prohibited civilian flying to direct all aviation resources to the army and navy

built to her specifications 17 for fundraising for the american red cross the fledgling u s postal air service was the only non military flying operation allowed by the government and the only other

to new york city as a publicity stunt 12 she encountered strong headwinds on the flight and flew non stop from chicago to binghamton new york where she had to stop for fuel 18 the airplane flipped

newton down to philadelphia he showed her the landmarks emergency landing fields and other pertinent tips for the route the following day he followed her back to new york city to make sure she had the route mastered the press mistakenly reported this as she had beat her instructor back to new york city in a race this reporting caused animosity at work and she quit the mail service after the one round trip 12 stinson then left for paris to be an ambulance driver for the red cross during wwi ending her aviation career 12 later life edit the weather and wartime conditions in europe affected her health and she came down with influenza and then tuberculosis returning from the war she went to the loomis sanitarium in liberty new york and then to the sunmount sanitarium in the dry climate of
