[00:00:00]In 1921, if you wanted a wild Sunday in Miami, you went to Hialeah and watched Mabel [music] Cody walk on the wings of a biplane at a thousand feet.

[00:00:09]She was billed [music] as the niece of Buffalo Bill, a world champion aviatrix, and honestly, one of the most daring [music] people in the sky.

[00:00:17]By 1924, she's doing personal appearances at Broadway theaters, flying trick stunts over the city, and headlining her own flying circus.

[00:00:26]And then there's this. On this day, 100 years ago, they reported her feet transferring from a racing speedboat [music] to a moving airplane over Matanzas Bay, Florida.
