Description: Description:This original photograph from the 1974 Angel Derby captures a thrilling moment in American aviation history. In this image, a talented female pilot performs the "hovering autorotation" barrel maneuver, an advanced skill requiring the precise descent and control of a helicopter without engine power—while expertly lifting a barrel from the ground mid-flight. This daring feat is a testament to the exceptional piloting skills and quick reflexes required for such a complex task. The Angel Derby, an iconic all-woman air race, was more than a competition—it celebrated the determination, courage, and talent of female pilots at a time when they were still breaking barriers in the aviation world. These women embodied the American spirit of freedom and ambition, flying against the odds and challenging societal expectations with every maneuver. Measuring approximately 3.5 by 4.5 inches, this vintage photograph is perfect for aviation enthusiasts, collectors of women's history memorabilia, and anyone inspired by pioneering achievements. Display this rare piece proudly to honor the role of women in aviation and their contribution to American history. What if:What if this photo could inspire young women to reach for the skies, just as the daring pilots of the Angel Derby soared through history?
