EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fearless English aviator, Amy Johnson, moments after her dramatic arrival at Croydon aerodrome in London. It was a historic moment as she successfully completed her groundbreaking 11,000-mile solo trip from Britain to Australia. The year was 1930, and Johnson's achievement marked a significant milestone in aviation history. In the photograph, we see Amy Johnson confidently addressing the crowd through microphones, displaying no signs of nervousness despite the magnitude of her accomplishment.
