To the- Mailing List:
It is nearly a year since the Curtiss-bright Woman’s Department
was created f or the purpose of serving as a clearing house of infor­
mation on the subject of women and flying. Since that time some 200
more women have qualified as pilots in this country.
distinguished flights have been made by women.

Many more women have
purchased planes of thoir own, many hundreds of thousands of miles

Women will
There will
not only be more women entries in the various events, but there will
be more women spectators in the stands than ever before.
Curtiss-Wright, through its Woman's Department, is publishing a
weekly bulletin of news on women and aviation.
All women who pilot
planes, who fly in planes, or who are interested in flying, are
eligible tc the mailing list of this bulletin.
Nevb items having to do
with the subject of women and flying will be gladly received at any
time. When a new pilot gets her license or when a pilot increases her
license rating, that is nows for the bulletin. When a woman buys a
plane or sells one, when a woman makes an interesting trip by sir, or
accepts a position in the aviation industry, when a new women’s flyirg
organization is formed] all these things are news for the bulletin.
In fact anything that has to do with women and aviation will be
gladly received.
The editor of the bulletin will be at the Edgewater Beach Hotel
in Chicago during the National Air Races,August 23-Septomber if,with
an armful of pencils and paper, ready to take down news by word of
mouth.

five more names, making a total of 275 on record to date.
An earnest
effort has been made to keep this list accurate, but nevertheless
mistakes are apt to creep in.
