Margret Fusbahn
Margret Fusbahn (née Billwiller, 1907 - 2001), was a German aviator. She flew in airshows, undertook long-haul flights from Europe to Africa and in 1930 she broke the international altitude record for light aircraft when she reached 15,900 feet.[1][2][3]
Fusbahn's husband, Ludwig Werner Fusbahn, was also an aviator, and the pair were nicknamed "the flying couple".[1]
The town of Sindelfingen has a street named after Fusbahn, Margret Fusbahn Straße.
