That’s not why she died. She died because she was incompetent. She was a bad pilot and after a crash the man that was the radio expert quit. She didn’t know how to work the radios and broadcasted to listen on a channel that her radio couldn’t use, she didn’t know how to use the trailing antenna that could have saved them so she had it removed, etc…
This. If she knew how to use her equipment and bothered to learn Morse Code, the best fail-safe of the time, she would have probably been fine. Instead she made a heap of stupid mistakes that cost her life.
