Lady Heath became the first woman to fly solo from Cape Town, South Africa to London in 1927-28. She went on publicity tours in England and in the United States. In 1928 she was received by President and Mrs. Cooledge. An interesting story from that flight is that when she requested the British Air Ministry for a plane to lead her across the Mediterranean sea, she was denied. Not to be defeated, she asked Benito Mussolini for an escort plane. He agreed on the condition that she share her experiences with him.
