The 'forgotten' queen of aviation
The little-told story of Richarda Morrow-Tait, the first woman to fly around the world.
Richarda 鈥楧ikki鈥� Morrow-Tait made history in the late 1940s by flying around the world 鈥� when still only 24 year-old.
She remains the youngest woman to circumnavigate the globe alongside a navigator, but her story remains relatively unknown.
