EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the spirit of Amy Johnson (later Mollison) CBE (1903-1941), a pioneering English pilot who broke boundaries in the male-dominated world of aviation during the 1930s. Known for her tenacity and determination, Johnson was the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia, a remarkable achievement that solidified her place in aviation history. The image showcases Johnson in her flying attire, donning a leather helmet, goggles, and a determined expression as she gazes off into the distance. Her aviator jacket and cap, adorned with badges and insignia, speak to her numerous records and accomplishments in the field. Johnson's solo flight from England to Australia in 1930 took just 19 days, 16 hours, and 49 minutes, a feat that astounded the world and inspired countless women to pursue careers in aviation. Throughout the 1930s, Johnson continued to set records, both solo and with her husband, Jim Mollison. Together, they set the record for the fastest transatlantic flight from New York to London in 1932. Johnson's pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication to aviation paved the way for future generations of female pilots and continues to inspire us today. This portrait, taken during her groundbreaking career, serves as a testament to her unyielding passion and determination.
