EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph captures the determination and grit of aviation pioneer, Amy Johnson, as she overhauls her Gypsy Moth aeroplane after making history as the first woman to fly solo from Europe to Australia in 1930. The image, taken upon her arrival in Australia, showcases Johnson's unwavering commitment to her craft as she meticulously checks and maintains her aircraft, ensuring it was in top condition for the next leg of her journey. Born in 1903 in Hull, England, Johnson's passion for flying began at a young age. She earned her pilot's license in 1930 and embarked on her record-breaking flight to Australia, braving harsh weather conditions and long hours in the cockpit. Her daring achievement not only broke the gender barrier in aviation but also set a new solo record for the longest flight from England to Australia. The Gypsy Moth aeroplane, a versatile and popular design of its time, served as Johnson's trusty companion on her historic journey. Its open cockpit and lightweight construction made it an ideal choice for long-distance flights, allowing Johnson to cover vast distances with minimal fuel consumption. This photograph is a testament to Johnson's courage, skill, and perseverance, as well as her unwavering dedication to her love of flying. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were still a new frontier and the spirit of adventure knew no bounds." Credit: Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans.
