Great to see bio of pioneering women's aviator Pauline Gower published in September. As author Alison Hill @rhythmandmuse says 'She left a huge legacy for women in aviation.' Pauline formed women's section ATA, a story both inspiring and tragic (and influenced @SpitfireMusical).

Remembering today on the anniversary of her death, while serving with the ATA, the remarkable Amy Johnson. Amy's story is one of many female ATA pilots stories that inspired @stevedarlow to write @SpitfireMusical
Captain Brent 🇬🇧@Birdseed5015 Jan 2022
Newsreel about the death of Amy Johnson, OTD in 1941. A member of the ATA, she making a delivery flight in an Airspeed Oxford from Blackpool to Kidlington, north of the City of Oxford. But bizarrely, 2h 30m after her ETA, she was spotted by a convoy off the north Kent coast…⬇️

'The significance of today’s flight ... is for the young girl who has never seen a female fighter pilot, let alone 10 of them. We fly for her so she knows nothing is out of her reach and she need only believe to one day be a future fighter pilot.' osan.af.mil/News/Stories/Dis…
