A Spanish inventor is Juan de la Cierva. He invented the autogiro. He was born in 1895 and died in 1936.
She created a women's altitude record in 1928 in a Pitcairn Autogiro.
Amelia was not, strictly speaking a Commercial pilot. she may have did promotional work for non-air outfits such as Beech-Nut gum ( autogiro flights) for many years the Heath chocolate company used an autogiro as a trade mark for their Bit-O-Honey brand and this showed candy bars coming together to form the craft"s rotors. Amelia held an autogiro height record of l8,4l5 feet which still stands- in l93l this under the sponsorship of Beech-Nut. big difference between Beech nut, and say American Airlines or United.
She hit an altitude record for an autogiro, a forerunner of a helicopter- at l8,4l5 feet, this was computed from theodolite observations from the ground.
"It would have been virtually impossible, indeed, to have achieved any success with the idea of the Autogiro unless I had been able to calculate its basic design by mathematics before I began to build it. Success by mere experiment would been as unlikely as the successful construction of a cantilever bridge without any previous engineering experience."

Anything can be used as a war machine, but the autogiro - an aircraft that combines all the disadvantages of both the helicopter and the airplane into one vehicle - isn't one you'd really want to use.
