Retelling the life of Amy Johnson, this biography follows the Hull-born pilot who captured global attention with her 1930 solo flight to Australia. It traces her daring long-distance flights, dramatic forced landings and the era that made her an international celebrity.
The narrative charts Johnson's rise from a working-class background to high society, her record attempts to Tokyo and Cape Town, and a turbulent marriage that placed her among other famous aviators and public figures. It also explores her interest in gliding and motor sport as part of a restless spirit drawn to speed.
Johnson's disappearance over the Thames Estuary during the Second World War and the unanswered questions that followed are treated with careful detail, offering historical context and a sense of the woman behind the headlines.
