A Clue a Day #4

Here is the fourth of five clues to a trivia question I will answer on December 26. Then, I'll reveal the names of anyone who emails me with the name of the person in question.

Clue #4: She received the highest medal of recognition for aviation accomplishments from both the United States and France for her 23, 206 statue mile flight. (Hint: Her route never crossed into French airspace, but she did stop over in Casablanca and Bone, Algeria, where French was spoken).
