PLAQUES FOR PIONEERS: Two pioneers of aviation, honored at a dinner by some 200 veteran airmen, receive plaques from Elmo N. Pickerill of Mineola, president of the OX-5 Club of New York. Left to right are Mrs. Blanche Stuart Scott of Rochester, the first woman to solo an airplane in the United States; Dr. Paul Studenski of Brentwood, professor emeritus of economics of New York University who is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his first solo flight; and Pickerill. The OX-5 Club, which sponsored the dinners is named for the famous engine designed by Glenn Curtiss that powered most of America's World War I training planes.
