Amy Johnson: The Pioneering Pilot
Manage episode 348522553 series 3284865
In May 1930, a young English woman from Yorkshire arrived in Sydney, Australia she received a welcome fit for a Queen.
Amy Johnson had become the first female pilot to fly from the United Kingdom to Australia. It was a remarkable feat for the 26 year old aviator who was born the same year the Wright brothers launched the first flight. It was also a notable achievement for a British woman considering that just two years earlier most women (Johnson included) weren’t even allowed to vote.
In this episode I explore the life of the extraordinary aviator, from her childhood through her greatest triumphs up until her tragic and still controversial death.
