Description
Aviation pioneer and multiple record breaker Ruth Nichols stands in front of a Crosley Radio Plane. Brothers Prowel Jr. and Lewis Crosley, founders of Crosley Radio, were inventors who were responsible for the first airplane radio broadcast in 1930s. Nichols wears a fur-lined, heavy jumpsuit. A similar photograph with the same plane exists in which Nichols is wearing a classic 1930s hat and long leather coat.
