AIRCRAFT STILL REGISTERED WITH THE FAA
Although I have not examined each airplane, I am sure there
is a significant number of our Davis-Monthan aircraft still
registered with the FAA. The reason I say this is because
for one subpopulation of pilots, the 41 women who landed,
I searched for each of their airplanes in the FAA database.
Of their numbers, 9 of their aircraft are still registered
with the FAA today.
Think of it! Where else but in the Davis-Monthan Airfield
Register can one find in a single place signatures that illuminate
the comings and goings of 10% of certificated female Golden
Age pilots? Not to mention being able to directly, today,
connect them with about 25% of their airplanes.
Five of their landings were associated with the 1929 and
1931 National Air Races: Omlie,
Bowman (1931), LaRene,
Charles and Morgan
were competing. Pancho
Barnes and Bowman (1932) were flying on business. Nancy
Harkness was flying for Love: she was on her honeymoon with
her new husband, Robert Love! For the full story of these
women and their airplanes, click
