 * there is no doubt that Todd created her plane in 1909. Lots of news about it, i.e. Then Amelie Beese patented her flying "boat" in 1912 and built it in 1913. . McGill may well have been the first woman employed as an engineer to do it, but she was clearly not the first designer. SusunW (talk) 01:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Rosamund Steenkamp was not the first woman to fly a jet.
The article says Rosamund Steenkamp was the first in 1945, but at least two other women preceded her.

German test pilot Hanna Reitsch flew a variety of rocket, turbojet, and pulsejet aircraft between 1942 and 1945. https://www.historynet.com/hanna-reitsch-hitlers-female-test-pilot.htm

American WASP test pilot Anna Baumgartner flew the YP-59A turbojet fighter in October of 1944. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Portals/7/documents/education/teacher_resource_flying_for_freedom.pdf
