EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Amy Johnson, a pioneering British aviator of the 1920s and 1930s. Taken in 1936, it captures Johnson's adventurous spirit and determination that made her an icon in aviation history. Known for breaking records, Johnson achieved remarkable feats during her career. In this particular instance, she set a new solo flight record from London to Cape Town, completing the journey in just 4 days, 6 hours, and 54 minutes. This impressive achievement surpassed even her husband James Mollison's previous record by an astounding 10 hours and 28 minutes. Johnson's accomplishments didn't stop there. In 1930, she became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in her DH60 Moth aeroplane named Jason. Three years later, she made headlines again by flying non-stop across the Atlantic alongside Mollison in a De Havilland biplane. During World War II, Johnson joined the Air Transport Auxiliary as a pilot but tragically went missing after baling out over the Thames estuary. The colorized black-and-white print adds vibrancy to this historic image while preserving its authenticity. It serves as a reminder of Amy Johnson's indomitable spirit and trailblazing contributions to aviation as one of the most influential female pilots of all time.
