Description: (Renowned aviator and author who was the first woman to fly an east-to-west solo route across the Atlantic Ocean)
Beryl Markham, a pioneering Kenyan aviator, adventurer, racehorse trainer, and author, made history as one of the first bush pilots. She became the first person to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic from Britain to North America. Her memoir, "West with the Night," details her daring spirit and passion for exploration. Markham's accomplishments in aviation and writing have established her as a trailblazer in both fields.
