Eula Pearl Carter grew up young. Driving at12, flying at 14, married at 16 and 2 babies at 18.
She certainly wasn't a person to shy from anything, it seems.
At a time when motorized technology was young, there were fewer rules. Hardly any of the feats achieved by Ms. Carter could happen today. Thank you Tara for another piece of interesting history.
I wish stories like hers were splashed across America all the time ! These women should be celebrated for their courage and dedication to show they didn’t need the help of. NOW. or other women groups to make a difference , THEY WERE THE DIFFERENCE. !
Spin recovery at 300 feet above ground level certainly isn’t for most new pilots! I was taught spin recovery at 1000 ft agl. She was a natural. And initially taught by Wlley Post, no less. Great story.
Pearl was an amazing person! All these pioneer aviators brought us to the forefront in the world of aviation. She certainly had nerves of steel. I wonder if any of her children followed in her footsteps? Looking forward to the next installment of her story.
She was an amazing aviatrix as women pilots historically referred to themselves. I like the term because it gives positive recognition to their femininity and skills by stating, “I am a woman and I fly aircraft!” She likely lived because she gave up flying, but she made her mark. I admire this woman who was a few years younger than my grandmother and did what she did with spunk! Thanks for this great peep into the past about something we can all be proud to celebrate, Tara Ross.
There is ample room in America for more young people to accept the challenge to be courageous, focused, and “dead-set” on building a stronger, prosperous, nation.
America needs more courageous young people and [fewer] selfish politicians.
I have grandsons that didn’t want to drive until 16 ! She was something else, determined and gritty. She is someone to emulate, but back off on the daredevil just a bit.

I thought her blind dad was going to fly!
My dad was blind and you’d be amazed at the things he could and better than some people with sight.

Some girls want a pony or a car, not this one…
