Phrasing
I changed: "During this manoeuvre her safety-strap broke but she clung with wit and courage to bracing wires while her body swung outside the plane like a stone twirled on the end of a piece of string."
to remove the "wit and courage", since this was a bit of 1928-era rhetoric taken directly from Time magazine. Presumably anyone with an ounce of sense would cling to the plane when falling out, and it doesn't demonstrate particular wit or courage.--156.34.44.32 (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
