(NEA) A slim, blue-eyed girl of 19 who admits that boys frighten her much more than turning somersaults In the air, Is the new queen of America's woman stunt flyers. She Is Dorothy Hester of Portland, who after only a little more than a year's experience with airplanes now performs practically every stunt known to the most daring men pilots, plus a few of her own.

For this reason she has Just been signed a featured performer at the National Air Races in Cleveland In August, the first woman ever given such a contract. In Dorothy's catalog of air thrillers are 36 death-defying stunts, 19 of which are performed while she is flying upside down, Moreover, she holds the world's record for women making outside loops aviation's most dangerous feat havine made 62 in rapid succes sion at Omaha recently.

I told her no, but that set me to thinking. I decided to take an airplane ride." Dorothy hurried home, borrowed the necessary money and went out to Tex Rankin's aviation school to make a flight. As soon as she looked down on the housetops from above she made up her mind.

She would be a flyer! FOR A YEAR, the girl studied ground courses at a night school. (rovoHnir ioht miles in the field and eight miles home again.

That went on her lessons, and three more i Junrs enabled her to complete her flying course.

Rankin, Impressed by the girl's determination, tcfok her in hand and began to teach her how to do stunts. He taught her feats that no woman had ever tried in the air before and she mastered each quickly. Just a year ago she started her upside-down flying stunts, the most dangerous of all when a pilot hangs head downward In a streaking airplane with only his safety belt supporting him. DOROTHY'S crowning feat that of performing 62 outside loops at Omaha was responsible for National Air Race officials at Cleveland deciding to break their rule and employ a woman stunt flyer. "I had made 23 outside loops be very large when I considered Mr.

Rankin's record of 78. but I wanted to make a better showing. So went out to beat him." An empty gas tank, exhausted after her sixty-second outside loop, defeated Dorothy, but she suffered no dizziness, nose bleeding or other ill effects. She was laughing when she alighted from her plane and in a couple of hours she was up again entertaining the crowd with an other series of stunts. The other day she came to Cleve-land to get a new airplane, given her by the Oreat Lakes Aircraft company, the Goodyear Tire is Rub ber Co.

and the American Circus Motor company. She thanked them In a neat speech, took the stick and roared away from Cleveland's airport to fly to her home in Oregon.
