BRUCE
(Mildred Mary Petre, 1895-1990, Mrs Victor Bruce, Record Breaking Racing Motorist, Speedboat Racer and Aviator in the 1920’s and 30’s)
Long Typed Letter Signed to Mr Evans,
thanking him for his letter about her “exploits and adventures. I think, of all my records, the two that pleased me the most, and probably will be the best remembered, are the twenty-four hour record at Montlhéry in a Bentley in 1927, and the World Flight in 1930... As to a photograph, I am enclosing one of myself with the ‘Miles Satyr’ which, at the time when the photograph was taken, was the smallest bi-plane in the world. This was one of the aeroplanes with which I toured the country when I was involved with the British Hospital Air Pageants Flying Circus... I do hope your pupils will be interested in my land,, sea and air records as well as my horse jumping exploits. It is a pity that nowadays young people do not have much opportunity of blazing new trails...”, 2 sides 8vo., on separate sheets, Croftway House, Croftway,, NW3 7AQ, 28th October
