Fabric Doll of Amy Johnson

Amy Johnson achieved international celebrity when she became the first female pilot to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. She went on to attempt and set a number of other record-breaking flights, some of which are recorded on the doll's sashes.

In 1940 she joined the Air Transport Auxiliary and it was in their service that she lost her life when she disappeared over the Thames Estuary on 5 January 1941.
