Amy Johnson (1903 - 1941)
Australia's Sweetheart. That's what we called her after her daring, solo flight in a flimsy Gipsy Moth, from England to Australia, in 1930. But Amy was more than a nation's sweetheart. Defying popular expectations about what women could do, she was fine pilot and a competent mechanic with the imagination and determination to take on challenges that only the most daring would consider. Like many early aviators however, she did not live to a ripe old age.
