Amy Johnson by Constance Babington Smith is regarded as the definitive account of the extraordinary and unconventional life of the trail-blazing aviatrix.
Amy Johnson became a household name after her solo flight to Australia in 1930 which thrust her, ill-prepared and exhausted, into the limelight and almost constant media attention for the rest of her short life. She was to die in mysterious circumstances in 1941 crashing into the sea off Herne Bay.
The book is a compelling and often surprising portrait of Amy Johnson's life and this new Daredevil Books edition includes forty photographs that convey the many twists and turns of her fascinating life.
