During this time she would meet [[Wernher von Braun]] for the first time. She left medical school in 1933 after two semesters at the invitation of Wolf Hirth to become a full-time glider pilot and instructor at Hornberg in Baden-Württemberg. She was soon breaking records, earning a Silver C Badge No 25. In the same year she took part in a glider expedition in [[South America]] ([[Brazil]] and [[Argentina]]).
