Raiche said: "Blanche deserved the recognition, but I got more attention because of my lifestyle. I drove an automobile, was active in sports like shooting and swimming, and I even wore riding pants and knickers. People who did not know me or understand me looked down on this behavior. I was an accomplished musician, painter and linguist, I enjoyed life, and just wanted to be myself." The Raiches made two more airplanes as the French-American Aeroplane Company. Declining health made Bessie give up flying. By 1920, the Raiches were living in So Cal, where Bessica was one of the first women specialists in obstetrics and gynecology in the US.
