Amelia Earhart: Amelia Mary Earhart ( , born July 24, 1897; disappeared July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author.  Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.  She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this accomplishment.

Jerrie Mock: Geraldine "Jerrie" Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 – September 30, 2014) was the first woman to fly solo around the world, which she did in 1964.  She flew a single engine Cessna 180 (registered N1538C) christened the "Spirit of Columbus" and nicknamed "Charlie."  The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended April 17, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and took 29 days, 21 stopovers and almost 22860 mi .  An almost forgotten part of this flight is the "race" that developed between Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith who had flown from a field near San Francisco CA on March 17, 1964.  Joan's departure date and flight path was the same as the aviator Amelia Earhart's last flight and though not in direct competition with each other, media coverage soon began tracking the progress of each pilot fascinated with who would complete the journey first.  The story of this race is told in a book written by Taylor Phillips entitled, "Racing to Greet the Sun, Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith Duel to Become the First Woman to Solo Around the World".  Jerrie Mock was subsequently awarded the Louis Blériot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in 1965.  In 1970 she published the story of her round-the-world flight in the book "Three-Eight Charlie".  While that book is now out of print, a 50th anniversary edition was later published including maps, weather charts and photos.  "Three-Eight Charlie" is a reference to the call sign, N1538C, of the Cessna 180 Skywagon Mock used to fly around the world.  Before her death, Mock, mother of three children, resided in Quincy, Florida; northwest of the state capital, Tallahassee.
