Tara, the excitement of reading this story was almost too much. You have such a wonderful way of telling a story.

Geraldine Mock was one brave and smart and accomplished lady, and the first to solo around the world. Her flight amazes me. What model of Cessna was she flying and what modifications were made to allow for such long flights?

Thank you Tara for another thrilling and remarkable story. Congratulations to Jerrie Mock.

What can’t a woman and her faithful Cessna 180 do? Moreover, Charles Lindbergh, who managed only to fly solo across the Atlantic, was not the mother of three children.

Great story! I wonder if you are a pilot yourself, Tara, because of the great interest you have for aviation. Are you?

Had there been any other female aviators who had attempted the round the world flight after Amelia Earhart and before Jerrie Mock? That’s a 27 year time span from when Earhart disappeared to this final achievement.

How exciting for this heroic woman! The Americans who witnessed her amazing fear must have been as proud as we Americans watching two Americans being rescued by another American after being stranded in space for 9 months. We’ve come a long way since man first started flying and since we sent the first rocket into space. Thanks for bringing Geraldine Mock to our attention, Tara.
