Ep 66. Ruth Rowland Nichols: Pioneer in American Aviation

In this week's Notable People in History podcast, we’ll take a look at the life of Ruth Rowland Nichols. Nichols set a transcontinental record in 1930, beating that of Charles Lindbergh's set earlier that year, flying from New York to Burbank, California in 16 hours, 59 minutes. On her return flight, she flew even faster: 13 hours, 22 minutes.
