The Women's Air Derby was the first official women-only air race in the United States, taking place during the 1929 National Air Races. Humorist Will Rogers referred to it as the Powder Puff Derby, the name by which the race is most commonly known. Nineteen pilots took off from Santa Monica, California on August 18, 1929 (another left the next day). Marvel Crosson died in a crash apparently caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, but fifteen completed the race in Cleveland, Ohio, nine days later.

  • Das Women’s Air Derby war das erste offizielle reine Frauenflugrennen in den USA. Dieses Turnier fand erstmals im Jahre 1929 bei den „National Air Races“ statt. Will Rogers bezeichnete es als „Powder Puff Derby“ oder auch „Puderquastenrennen“, als letzteres ist es bis heute noch bekannt. Am 18. August 1929 starteten 19 Pilotinnen in Santa Monica, Kalifornien und eine Pilotin aufgrund von Startschwierigkeiten einen Tag später. Marvel Cross, eine Teilnehmerin des Luftrennens starb bei einem Sturz an einer Kohlenstoffmonoxidvergiftung. Fünfzehn der Pilotinnen schafften es in neun Tagen nach Cleveland, Ohio an das Ziel. (de)
  • Le Women’s Air Derby est la première course aérienne officielle réservée aux femmes aux États-Unis. Elle s'est déroulée en 1929. L'humoriste Will Rogers l'a désigné à l'époque sous le nom de « Powder Puff Derby », c'est le nom sous lequel la course est connue généralement. Dix-neuf femmes pilotes ont décollé de Santa Monica en Californie le 18 août 1929 (et une vingtième le lendemain). Marvel Crosson meurt dans l'accident de son avion apparemment causé par un empoisonnement au gaz carbonique, mais quinze des participantes terminent la course à Cleveland en Ohio, neuf jours plus tard.
