Erected Johnson Landed Poland Polish Spot
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Amy Johnson's Polish Landing: The Erection of the Amy Johnson Polish Cross" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment of history as the Amy Johnson Polish Cross was erected on the site where the legendary British aviator, Amy Johnson, had landed in Poland during her record-breaking solo flight from London to Daldalian, China, in the late 1930s. The image showcases a group of Polish workers and officials, dressed in traditional attire, as they construct the cross, which stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The cross, adorned with intricate designs and the Polish eagle emblem, symbolizes the warm welcome and appreciation Amy received from the Polish people during her groundbreaking journey. Amy Johnson's flight, which began on May 5, 1930, marked a significant milestone in aviation history as she became the first woman to fly solo from the UK to China. Her courage and determination inspired countless individuals, particularly women, to pursue careers in aviation. The Amy Johnson Polish Cross was erected in 1931, in the village of Dęblin, where Amy had made an unscheduled landing due to bad weather. The cross served as a testament to the strong bond between Poland and the United Kingdom during this era, as well as a tribute to Amy's remarkable achievement. This photograph, taken during the cross's erection, is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Amy Johnson's flight and the international camaraderie that it fostered. It stands as a powerful symbol of the spirit of adventure, courage, and resilience that characterized the early days of aviation.
