The first woman pilot was Amy Johnson CBE (UK pilot) who flew solo England to Australia in 1930, 19days 11hrs to Darwin, then proceeded to Melbourne with a safety pilot, due to exhaustion. Australian woman pilot, Freda Thompson OBE flew solo England to Australia in 1934. Australian pilot, Lores Bonney 1933 flew solo Brisbane to London in 157hrs 15mins, 20,000km. Later, in 1937 Lores flew Australia to Capetown (first pilot to do so).
