EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Johanne Cloherty, later known as Johanne Etherton, is seen gracefully chairing the Ball Committee of the National Women's Air Reserve in 1939. The image captures the essence of the 1930s, an era of change and determination for women, particularly in the aviation industry. Born in 1917, Johanne Cloherty was a trailblazer for women in aviation. Her passion for flying began during her teenage years, and she became an active member of the National Women's Air Reserve, an auxiliary organization of the Royal Canadian Air Force, in the late 1930s. The photograph shows Johanne in her element, surrounded by fellow members of the Ball Committee, all dressed in elegant evening gowns and adorned with accessories that reflect the glamour and sophistication of the time. The backdrop of the image is a beautifully decorated ballroom, further emphasizing the sense of occasion and excitement. Despite the challenges faced by women in aviation during this period, Johanne's dedication and commitment to the cause never wavered. Her role as chair of the Ball Committee was just one of the many ways she contributed to the National Women's Air Reserve. This photograph is a testament to Johanne's leadership and passion for aviation, and it offers a glimpse into the history of women's involvement in the field during the 1930s. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, particularly those related to women's history, aviation, and the 1930s. Johanne Cloherty's legacy continues to inspire women in aviation today, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role women have played in the history of this industry.
