EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait graced the front cover of The Tatler on the 6th of August, 1930. The subject of this elegant image is none other than Amy Johnson, CBE, a trailblazing English aviatrix who made history as the first female pilot to fly solo from Britain to Australia. Born in 1903, Amy Johnson's passion for aviation began at a young age. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary during World War I, where she proved her mettle as a skilled pilot. However, it was her solo flight from England to Australia in 1930 that cemented her place in aviation history. Johnson's achievement was a testament to her courage, determination, and skill. The journey spanned over fifteen days and covered a distance of 11,000 miles. Her arrival in Australia was met with jubilation, and she was hailed as a national heroine. This portrait, taken in 1930, captures the essence of Johnson's indomitable spirit. With her piercing gaze and determined expression, she exudes a sense of confidence and resolve. The image is a fitting tribute to a woman who defied conventions and broke boundaries in the male-dominated world of aviation. Johnson's legacy continues to inspire generations of women in aviation. Her pioneering spirit and unwavering determination paved the way for future female pilots and aviators. This iconic portrait is a reminder of her groundbreaking achievements and her enduring impact on the world of aviation." Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans [Image ID: ILN_1930_0806_001_f]
