    This page features women pilots from various countries, who will probably not have more than one stamp or cachet devoted to them.

    Cachets

    Smaranda Brăescu (May 21, 1897 – February 2, 1948) was the first female Romanian pilot. She became the European skydiving champion on October 2, 1931, skydiving from a record height of 6,000 m and landing in the Bărăgan Plain. She became the world champion in 1932 with a jump of 7200 m near Sacramento, California, and set a record crossing the Mediterranean Sea.

    This envelope bears a stamp imprinted on it - not sure if someone buys it for 80 bani, or if the 80 bani stamp of Smaranda Braescu is supposed to be affixed on top of it.
