Clara Livingston

^[1]

Clara Livingston (1900-1992) was the 200th licensed female pilot and 11th female helicopter pilot in the world. Clara made her first airplane trip in 1927. She was the daughter of Alfred Livingston. At the age of 25, her father died and she managed his property for the next two decades. She built her own landing strip, known as Dorado Airport, on this property consisting of 1,700 acres (6.9 km²). In 1937, Amelia Earhart, who was a friend of Clara's, made a stop during her last flight in Dorado Airport and stayed overnight at Clara's. Her home is well recognized in a community known as Dorado Beach for being a historical house when she rebuilt it in 1928.
