The infamy! Adventure came first though.

"Ingalls was the first woman to fly over the Andes Mountains (at 18,000 feet) and the first to fly from North America to South America. She easily surpassed aviatrix Amy Johnson’s distance record of 10,000 miles by logging about 17,000 in the air. She won a prestigious Harmon Trophy from the International League of Aviators."

"Laura Houghtaling Ingalls earned fame as a daredevil, speed and distance pilot in the 1930s but ruined her reputation by aligning herself with Nazis. She was convicted of working as an unregistered agent for the German Reich. After her release from jail, she unsuccessfully sought a presidential pardon for years.
