Follow the money. Her sponsor's name ARTEMIS is all over the place.

She is no hero to me and certainly her comparisons of herself to Amy Johnson would be laughable if they weren't so disrespectful of a true hero. She fits the stereotype of "helpless woman needing a man to do the real work while she looks decorative" perfectly....even naming her company "Bird in a Biplane" Bird having the derogatory meaning of brainless female.



Check out the pic here where they did a bad job of cropping out the pilot, then listen to her brag about flying in bad weather. Female pilot Tracey Curtis-Taylor lands in Sydney after epic journey in 1942 aircraft - Telegraph
