A
Being a pilot was first seen as a male occupation, however, these amazing female aviators proved that to be wrong.
Amy Johnson
On May 5, 1930, Amy Johnson, an English pilot, set out in her airplane, hoping to beat the record for the fastest flight between England and Australia: 15 days. Flying through sandstorms, monsoons, and terrible heat, she made several forced landings and landed in Australia 19 days later. She didn’t beat the record, but she was the first female to make the solo flight. Johnson set other solo records and eventually earned the nickname “Queen of the Air.”
Lee Ya-Ching
Lee Ya-Ching was China’s first woman pilot. When war broke out between China and Japan in 1937, Lee volunteered to be a combat pilot(空战飞行员)but the government declined that offer. Determined to do more to help her country, Lee set up a hospital and refugee(难民)camps. Then she bought a plane and set out a goodwill tour. She flew all over the United States, Canada, South America, and the Caribbean to raise money to help Chinese refugees by entertaining crowds with her flying.
Lotfia El Nadi
During the 1910s in Egypt, girls were expected to become housewives. Lotfia El Nadi, however, wanted a more exciting life. While attending the college, El Nadi secretly enrolled a flying school, working as the school’s secretary to pay for her lessons. In 1933, at the age of 26, she became the first female pilot in the Arab world. El Nadi’s fame inspired many other young Egyptian women to become pilots.
