the mud". Harriet Quimby was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York. The following year her remains were moved to the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. A cenotaph to Quimby, the Harriet Quimby Compass Rose Fountain, stands at Pierce Brothers/Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in Burbank, California. Located close to the cemetery's Portal of the Folded Wings, a shrine containing the ashes of aviation pioneers, the Quimby fountain's plaque reads: Harriet Quimby became the first licensed female pilot in America on August 1, 1911. On April 16, 1912, she was the first woman to fly a plane across the English Channel. She pointed the direction for future women pilots including her friend, Matilde Moisant, buried at the Portal of the Folded Wings. Filmography As actress As writer Legacy In 1991 the United States Postal Service issued a 50 cent airmail postage stamp featuring Harriet Quimby. She is memorialized in two official Michigan historical markers. One is located near Coldwater. The other was erected near the now abandoned farmhouse in Arcadia Township where Quimby lived from 1875 to about 1888. In 2004 Quimby was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame. In 2012 Quimby was inducted into the Long Island Air and Space Hall of Fame. The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome possesses a flyable Anzani-powered one-seater Blériot XI, which bears the Blériot factory's serial number 56, showing that it was manufactured in 1909. Since Quimby's plane, in 1912, was a brand new two-seater, the idea that the former was the aircraft that she was flying in 1912 seems to be an urban legend. Quimby Road at Reid–Hillview Airport in San Jose, California, is named in her honor.
