EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Amy Johnson in action, broadcasting from Croydon Airport in 1930. A true pioneer of aviation, Johnson made history as the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in her DH60 Moth aeroplane named Jason. Her fearless spirit and determination propelled her into the spotlight, inspiring women around the world. In 1933, Johnson achieved yet another extraordinary feat by flying non-stop across the treacherous Atlantic Ocean alongside her husband James Mollison in a De Havilland biplane. This daring adventure solidified her status as an aviation legend and cemented her place in history. During World War II, Johnson joined the Air Transport Auxiliary as a pilot, bravely contributing to the war effort. Tragically, she was lost after baling out over the Thames estuary—an unfortunate end for such a trailblazing figure. The image showcases Johnson with a microphone in hand at Croydon Airport—a symbol of her groundbreaking work not only as an aviator but also as a broadcaster. The photograph is part of "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. Amy Johnson's legacy lives on through this powerful image that encapsulates her courage, resilience, and unwavering passion for flight. She will forever be remembered as one of Britain's most iconic female figures who defied societal norms and soared to new heights both literally and figuratively.
