A list of Rowland's flight achievements follows the text. Ruth Rowland Nichols February 23 1901 - September 25 1960 was an American aviation pioneer. She is the only woman yet to hold simultaneous world records for speed altitude and distance for a female pilot. While a student at Wellesley College Nichols secretly took flying lessons. Shortly after graduation she received her pilot's license and became the first woman in the world to obtain a hydroplane license. She first achieved public fame in January 1928 as co-pilot for Harry Rogers who had been her flying instructor on the first non-stop flight from New York to Miami Florida. Due to her socialite upbringing and aristocratic family background Nichols became known in the press as the "Flying Debutante" a name she hated. Nichols was then hired as a sales manager for Fairchild Aviation Corporation. In 1929 she was a founding member with Amelia Earhart and others of the Ninety-Nines an organization of licensed women pilots. In August 1929 she and Earhart were among 20 competitors in the Women's Air Derby also known as the "Powder Puff Derby" the first official women-only air race in the United States. They departed from Santa Monica California on 18 August for Cleveland Ohio. Nichols crashed while Earhart finished third in the heavy class. During the 1930s while working for Fairchild and other aviation companies Nichols made several record-setting flights most of them in a Lockheed Electra the New Cincinnati on open loan from millionaire radio industrialist Powel Crosley Jr. In December 1930 she beat Charles Lindbergh's record time for a cross-country flight completing the trip in 13 hours 21 minutes. In March 1931 she set the women's world altitude record of 28743 feet 8760.9 m. In April 1931 in Detroit she set the women's world speed record of 210.7 miles per hour 339.1 km/h. In June 1931 she attempted to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean but crashed in New Brunswick and was severely injured breaking at least two vertebrae in her back. Following her recovery in October 1931 she set the women's distance record with a flight from Oakland California to Louisville Kentucky 1977 miles 3182 km. On 14 February 1932 Nichols set a new world altitude record of 19928 feet for diesel-powered aircraft at Floyd Bennett Field NY while flying in a Lockheed Vega. On 3 November an attempt at breaking Earhart's transcontinental record failed when Nichol's aircraft skidded off the runway at Floyd Bennett Field while taxiing went into a ground loop and was badly damaged as the port wing dug in although the pilot escaped injury. On 29 December Nichols became the first woman pilot of a commercial passenger airline flying for New York and New England Airways. In 1935 Nichols joined the British-based Women's Engineering Society at the time the only organisation in the world for women engineers and pilots. On 21 October 1935 Nichols was critically injured in a crash during a private flight in Troy New York. The flight was to be an airborne wedding for two couples over New York City but the plane a Curtiss Condor registration NC725K crashed shortly after takeoff killing the pilot. Nichols received a broken left wrist ankle and nose contusions burns and "possible internal injuries" according to newspaper accounts of the crash. She was unable to fly for nearly a year after. When she returned to flying Nichols went to work for the Emergency Peace Campaign a Quaker organization that sought to promote peaceful resolution to international conflicts then brewing. In 1939 she headed Relief Wings a civilian air service that performed emergency relief flights and assisted the Civil Air Patrol during World War II. Nichols would eventually attain the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol. Following the war Nichols became involved in other humanitarian efforts using her celebrity to bring attention to causes and to raise funds. She organised a mission of support for UNICEF including piloting a round-the-world tour in 1949. In the 1950s she served as director of women's activities for Save the Children director of the women's division of the United Hospital Fund and field director for the National Nephrosis Foundation. In 1958 after lobbying the United States Air Force for permission she co-piloted a TF-102A Delta Dagger and reached 1000 miles per hour 1600 km/h and an altitude of 51000 feet 15 545 m setting new women's speed and altitude records at age fifty-seven.
