Here is one of hundreds of newspaper clippings that come from Pancho's personal scrapbook. This one, with a banner photo showing Ruth Elder, Pancho and Amelia Earhart, dates from the inaugural Powder Puff Derby.
The scrapbook itself is unfortunately now in pieces, and what remains is sometimes singed or water damaged. This is as a result of a fire which struck Pancho's home and "Happy Bottom Riding Club" bar, restaurant and hotel.
Here's another clipping.
This one chronicles the event that knocked Pancho out of the Powder Puff Derby.
While landing at Pecos, Texas, she collided with an automobile situated near the edge of the runway!
