Helen Hodge Harris (born in Omaha, Nebraska on August 2, 1892; died in Pomona, California in 1967) was among the first women to earn a pilot's license.[1] She was therefore one of the few women among the Early Birds of Aviation. In addition she became a proponent of flight safety.[2] She later became supervisor of a machine shop.[3]
