I will now give you a graphic re­ port on Betty’s flight to Brisbane Air­ port, Australia, as seen and experienc­ ed by a fellow Ninety-Niner awaiting her arrival. As you know, I am an Air Traffic Control Officer, stationed at Bris­ bane Airport, being one of only two women, employed in this' capacity by the Department of Civil Aviation in Australia and its Territories. As such I was able to obtain first hand know­ ledge of Betty's progress on her long flight and pass the information on to my fellow women pilots. As you will gather and probably al­ ready know from the enclosed Press cuttings, Betty had many delays on her trip due to adverse weather con­ ditions. Still this all added interest to her wonderful and exciting adventure. — I vy I feel the most thrilling moment Oakland, Calif., International Airport, April 30, 1063—Betty Miller is inter­ viewed by NBC Radio reporter prior to her takeoff for Honolulu on first leg' came when Air Traffic Control were of trans-Pacific solo flight.
