Thrilled by the experience, Markham went on to become the first woman in Kenya to receive a commercial pilot`s license. In 1936 she determined to fly solo across the Atlantic -- without stopping. When Charles Lindbergh did the same, he had the wind behind him. Markham, by contrast, had a strong headwind against her and a plane that only flew up to 163 mph. On 4 September, she
took off.. .Several days later, she crash-landed in Nova Scotia and became an instant celebrity.
