Talk:Marge Hurlburt

Speed record
Regarding Hurlburt's speed record: There is extreme variance on this in the sources I found. The American Aviation Historical Society gives 247 mph, which makes no sense given that that is lower than the record set by Cochran that Hurlburt beat. The Local Lore website gives 292.2. The website for the women aviators organization, the 99s, gives 337. The Chicago News Tribune figure looks like 337.635 but is hard to read in the copy I found. Gazette News Online gives 352.194. (All of these are listed in the References section for the article.) I went with 337 because that figure was given by both the 99s and the contemporaneous account in the Chicago News Tribune.
