Excellent- More about Women in Aviation
Although Amy Johnson and Amelia Earhart are well-known for their contributions to early aviation, many other pioneering women have also made significant achievements. This guide highlights the stories of these female aviators, including Katherine Wright, Mary, Lady Heath, and Mary, Lady Bailey, who received awards and broke down barriers in the male-dominated field. It also discusses the new opportunities for women in aviation during World War II, space flight, and the modern era of equality.

Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnson may be the most well-known trailblazing women in early aviation, but there were many others. From Katherine Wright, the sister of the Wright brothers and recipient of the Légion d'honneur, to Mary, Lady Heath, the first woman to fly a light aircraft from South Africa to England, the history of aviation is filled with pioneering women who shattered the barriers of this male-dominated field. This is the story of those female aviators: not only the widely celebrated records of Johnson and Earhart, but also the now lesser-known exploits of those such as Mary, Lady Bailey, who received an OBE in 1930. This essential guide also covers the new opportunities created for women during World War II, the age of space flight, and women's ongoing work in aviation in the modern age of equality.
