In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Amy Johnson, a pioneering British aviator, is seen bidding her husband Jim Mollison a tearful farewell at Lympne Airfield, Kent, England, on 6 February 1933. The momentous occasion marked the start of her record-breaking solo flight to South America. 3. Background: Amy Johnson, an accomplished pilot and holder of numerous aviation records, aimed to become the first woman to fly solo from Europe to South America. Her determination and skill were matched only by her deep love for her husband, Jim Mollison, a fellow aviator. 4. Emotional Departure: As she prepared for her historic journey, Amy shared a heartfelt moment with Jim, exchanging a tender kiss and a few last words of encouragement. The image captures the raw emotion of their farewell, with Jim's concerned gaze and Amy's resolute expression. 5. Record-Breaking Flight: Amy's flight to South America, which took her through 22 countries, lasted 41 hours and 11 minutes. She landed in Brazil on 7 February 1933, shattering the previous record for a solo flight from Europe to South America. 6. Legacy: Amy Johnson's groundbreaking achievement not only cemented her place in aviation history but also inspired countless women to pursue careers in aviation and defy societal norms. This poignant photograph serves as a testament to her courage and the unwavering support of her husband, Jim, who played a crucial role in her extraordinary journey.
