EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for aviation pioneer Amy Johnson as she stands before her Gipsy Moth aeroplane, "Jason," in Karachi on May 10, 1930. Having set a new solo flight record from London to India just days prior, Amy is shown here in high spirits, wearing shorts and holding a bouquet presented by the chief of the Karachi municipality. After an exhausting six-day journey, Amy was granted a night's rest at Government House, where she was treated as a celebrated guest. The following day, she resumed her historic flight towards Australia, continuing her groundbreaking solo journey across the globe. This image encapsulates the spirit of adventure and determination that defined Amy Johnson's pioneering achievements in the world of aviation. As one of England's most celebrated female aviators, Amy's record-breaking flight from London to Australia remains a significant milestone in the annals of aviation history.
