Markham Waves to the Crowd
Image
Beryl Markham, a former Kenyan bush pilot, waves to the crowd as she arrives at Floyd Bennett Field in New York. She had just completed the first solo east-to-west Atlantic crossing by a woman. To her left, in the hat, is her publicist, Harry Bruno. Bruno's papers are one of many mass communications collections in the Historical Society Archives.
