✈️ First Woman to Fly Across the English Channel

Harriet Quimby ne 16 April 1912 ko ek historic achievement hasil ki jab wo English Channel ko airplane se cross karne wali pehli woman bani. Unhone England ke Dover se France ke Calais tak lagbhag 59 minutes me flight complete ki, jab aviation abhi bilkul naya aur risky tha. Harriet ek journalist se pilot bani thi aur 1911 me America ki pehli licensed female pilot bhi thi. Unki is success ne yeh prove kiya ki women bhi aviation jaise tough field me aage badh sakti hain. Lekin unka yeh achievement us samay zyada highlight nahi ho paya kyunki ussi waqt RMS Titanic sinking ki news poori duniya me chhayi hui thi. Phir bhi, Harriet Quimby aaj ek strong aur inspiring pioneer ke roop me yaad ki jaati hain.
