EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch cover features the radiant and determined face of Diana Guest, later Manning (1909-1994), as she proudly dons her pilot's helmet and goggles. Daughter of the renowned British naval officer, Captain Freddie Guest, Diana defied societal expectations and joined the ranks of the pioneering aviators of the inter-war period. The year was 1929, an era when the spirit of adventure and innovation was in the air, and women like Diana were breaking through the glass ceiling in aviation. Her recent acquisition of her Pilot's A certificate is a testament to her courage and dedication, making her one of many remarkable women who embraced the freedom and thrill of flying. The delicate yet expressive brushstrokes of the sketch artist bring Diana's character to life, capturing her confidence, determination, and the infectious excitement that came with the newfound freedom of flight. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a time when society's conventions were challenged, and the skies became a realm where women could soar and prove their worth. This evocative sketch cover stands as a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Diana Guest Manning and the countless other women who dared to defy the odds and take to the skies, leaving their mark on history as trailblazing aviators.
