I suppose you might think of her in that way, but she was the first woman to fly the Atlantic solo (alone). This happened in the relatively early days of flying. I'm sure that she would have considered all the risks, and would have ensured that she rated highly as a pilot, as well as ensuring that her aircraft was prepared to the highest standards of those days. She was an explorer, and a very brave woman.

During World War 2 many aeroplanes, including fighters and bombers, were piloted across that ocean by single women pilots. Of course their aeroplanes were far more advanced but they too were "risk takers".
