Guess Who

To Ian Campbell

Good job!

How on earth you found Aloha Wanderwell is beyond me. I spent an inordinate amount of time searching for this and failed miserably! I congratulate you!

Aloha Wanderwell was a Canadian Internationalist explorer, author, filmmaker, and aviator. In the 1920s, while still a teenager, she traveled 380,000 miles across 80 countries, becoming the first woman ... not many especially in the UK knew that!

I couldn't get online yesterday so I missed the Guess Who answer.
Would someone kindly let me know the answer? It was the person whose names both began with vowels.
Thanks.

Deborah

Aloha Wanderwell was a Canadian explorer, author, filmmaker, and aviator. Beginning when she was 16 years old, she become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, driving a Ford 1918 Model T over a seven year period!

Ultimately she traveled 500,000 miles across 80 countries.

Between October 1922 and December 1923, the Wanderwell Expedition crisscrossed Europe in their Model Ts. Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Poland - all were visited, some multiple times.

Also She discovered that the man she had thought to be her father was not when he was killed during the First World War.

Cosmic, thanks for the reply but it doesn't answer the question.
