Beeing a female pilots is hazardous

Beeing a female pilot in the first half of the 20th century was hazardous.
While waiting for the autobiography of Marga von Etzdorf I have been reading about other female pilotos. Amy Johnson, drownd in the Thames. And Ameilia Earhart vanished above the Pasific Ocean. Some believed she and Fed Noonan in her Lokheed L10 Elektra landed on the Nukumaroro atoll and, after perishing from thirst, were eaten by coconut crabs.
Here is the aproach of the atoll-beach …

We move on … Marga and I

She goes to Mukden and have to stay there, while the Sino-Japanese is developing.
I have picked a different type face for her tekst. As if we hav a page from het dairy.

Hazards

When crossing the Taiga, Marga was afraid. Afraid that if she was forced to make an emergencie landing the wolfs would find here before rescuer would. When she finaly reached the Baikal lake, it was a tremendous relief.

Lost in the lawn

Flying over Mongolia in an opensportplaiin must be sensational. But without radar en GPS it's all grass, isitn't? So to oriëntate Marga used the trackop the Transsyberia Express. A small track in a stupendous lawn, easely lost …

Epilogue

On the previous page I had only a part of the epilogue. On this last one is the whole story:
Marga landen with the wind in the back on Moslimieh, she dameges the plain. She ask the French for a room with a bed to come to herself. Apparently she shot herself. The rest is history.

Final curtain

After an unfortunate landing in Mouslimieh - Syria, French mandate at the time, in which she damaged her plain a bit, Marga asks the French if she can lay down a moment. They offer her a room with a bed. Half een hour later two shots were heard from the room. The French found Marga, dead all ready. She shot her self through the head with an automatic gun. Nobody ever knew why she did it.

I'm verry pleased with the titel[page]

Marga von Etzdorff wore a grease stained, verry oversized, verry unflattering over all in many pictures. The shoes she wore beneath them were a sharp contrast. Ofcourse the pictures are all in black/white, bit I like to think her shoes were pink.
