Early Aviators Autographed page Nichols, Rasche, Pangborn, Turner. The signatures of pioneering aviators of the early 20th century. Clyde Pangborn, Thea Rasche, Roscoe Turner, Ruth Rowland Nichols. Some discolouration to page but still incredibly rare piece of early 20th Century aviation. Clyde Edward Pangborn, nicknamed ”Upside-Down Pangborn”, was an American aviator and barnstormer who performed aerial stunts in the 1920s for the Gates Flying Circus. He was its half-owner, chief pilot and operating manager, working in partnership with Ivan R. Gates. Theodora Rasche (12 August 1899 - 25 February 1971) was Germany's first female aerobatics pilot. Roscoe Turner (September 29, 1895 - June 23, 1970) was a record-breaking American aviator who was a three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy air race and widely recognized by his flamboyant style and his pet, Gilmore the Lion.[1] He also founded a US domestic airline, ultimately called Lake Central Airlines, that in 1968 merged into Allegheny Airlines, the predecessor to US Airways. Ruth Rowland Nichols was an American aviation pioneer. She is the only woman yet to hold simultaneous world records for speed, altitude, and distance for a female pilot. Good condition.
