Amy Johnson's greatest achievement was her solo flight to Australia, made inside a year of her finding a full pilot's licence. (At the time she was the only woman in the world to hold a complete ground-engineer's licence.) Inside the remote jungles and islands of south-east Asia, her flying ability and engineering knowledge enabled her to complete the flight. Throughout her life she fought anti-feminine prejudice, learning to be a major pioneer in aviation. Her tragic and mysterious early death in an air crash helped to turn her life into an aviation legend.
