The Untold Story Of The First Woman To Fly Around The World

Geraldine 'Jerrie' Fredritz Mock (born 1925 in Newark, Ohio) was the first woman to fly solo around the world. She would fly a single engine Cessna 180 christened the 'Spirit of Columbus.' The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended there April 17, 1964.
Jerrie Mock was 38 years at the time and she accomplished what Amelia Earhart is famous for having failed to do. But in the decades since, as Mock's life began to unravel, history all but forgot the pilot who made it.
