EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the strength and determination of the nine remarkable women who formed the Women's Pilot Section of The Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II. Standing proudly beside a RAF de Havilland Tiger Moth, these courageous pilots were entrusted with flying new aircraft from factories to aerodromes, playing a vital role in supporting the war effort. Led by Miss Pauline Gower, daughter of Sir Robert Gower MP, this group of trailblazing women defied societal norms and proved their exceptional skills in a male-dominated field. Alongside Miss Gower are her eight talented teammates: Mona Friedlander, an international ice hockey player; Joan Hughes from Loughton in Essex; Mrs. Winifred Crossley, possibly hailing from St Neots, Cambridgeshire; The Honorable Mrs. Fairweather from Scotland; Mrs. G Patterson from Romford; Marion Wilberforce; Miss M Cunnison of Glasgow; and Miss Rosemary Rees, daughter of the late Sir John Rees MP. The image is marked with paint stains as evidence of its age and historical significance. Taken on January 10th, 1940, it serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by these extraordinary women during one of humanity's darkest times.
