Text[edit]

Former Minneapolis Girl May Fight in Spanish War. Minneapolis, Minnesota (Associated Press) A former Minneapolis girl whose husband is a flying combatant in the Spanish revolution may soon be in the news herself as a war aviatrix. She is Mrs. Eddie Schneider, wife of one of the American pilots who earlier this month left for Spain to fight, apparently suspend operations indefinitely with the loyalists. When she lived here Mrs. Schneider was Miss Gretchen Hahnen. Mrs. Schneider, according to word received today by her aunt, Mrs. D. B. Ransburg, is leaving for Paris Saturday. There she will be watch her husband's exploits shooting down enemy planes at $1,000 per head. If the opportunity develops, she may join her husband's aide to pilot a war plane herself. She also is a pilot. When the proposition was brought to Schneider to join one of the warring factions in Spain at a salary of $1,500 a month and $1,000 addition for each plane brought down, Mrs. Schneider protested, but when a group of fliers, among them, Bert Acosta, who flew to France with Admiral Byrd in 1927, was enlisted, Mrs. Lansburg explained.
