Woman Aviatrix Makes
First Leg of Planned
Flight to Australia
HONOLULU (M — Betty Miller,
37, who made history yesterday
by flying her small plane from
California to Hawaii alone, said
she had only one hour’s fuel left
when she landed.
“I should have had three hours
left, but I wasn’t worried,” said
the Santa Monica, Calif., house
wife.
Looking fresh, Mrs. Miller open
ed the cockpit door of her twin
engine Piper Apache and yelled
to welcomers: “How’s the ground
feel?”
Her 2,400-mile flight from Oak- 1
land Airport to Honolulu Inter
national Airport took 17 hours
and 3 minutes.
The Hawaii trip was the first leg
of her planned solo flight to Bris
• bane, Australia, a 7,100-mile ocean
1 spanning trip that will include
l stops at Canton Islans and Fiji. She
; is flying a reverse course taken
by Amelia Earhart in 1937 when I
she and her navigator Fred Noonan
disappeared without trace while
attempting to fly the Pacific.
“I would just love to have a
drink,” the aviatrix said. She
explained that someone in Oak
land goofed before her departure
and filled her thermos bottle with
boiling water.
Mrs. Miller said she will rest
in Honolulu for “a day or two”
before continuing to Canton Island.
She had been expected to con
tinue the flight after refueling in
Honolulu.
