Betty Skelton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Betty Skelton was one of the pioneering women in aviation around the same time as Amelia Earhart who flew a Pitts Special that was bought from Jesse Bristow, who hired pilot Phil Quigley to fly the airplane in aerobatics. She would make this particular Pitts perhaps the most well known Pitts of all, what is now known as the "Little Stinker."

Skelton was female aerobatic champion three times.
