Tuesday, August 1, 1911. First "licensed" female American pilot.
Harriet Quimby became the first American woman to receive an airplane pilot's license, although that meant something significantly different at the time as the government did not issue them and you did not require one to fly an airplane.
She was killed in an airplane accident the following year at age 37.
