“To a psychoanalyst, a woman pilot, particularly a married one with children, must prove an interesting as well as an inexhaustible subject. Torn between two loves, emotionally confused, the desire to fly an incurable disease eating out your life in the slow torture of frustration-she cannot be a simple, natural personality.”
-- Louise ThadenSource : Louise Thaden (1973). “High, Wide and Frightened”, p.92, University of Arkansas Press
