Zusammenfassung

Flying 'Anything to Anywhere': the life of pilot Pauline Gower, MBE, who led the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during WW2

Pauline Gower, Pioneering Leader of the Spitfire Women Zusammenfassung

Pauline Gower, Pioneering Leader of the Spitfire Women Alison Hill

PAULINE GOWER was the leader of the Spitfire women during the Second World War. After gaining her pilot's licence at 20, she set up the first female joyriding business in 1931 with engineer Dorothy Spicer and took 33,000 passengers up for a whirl, clocking up more than 2,000 hours overall. Pauline went on to command the inaugural women's section of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) and achieved equal pay for her women pilots. She enabled them to fly 'Anything to Anywhere', including Tiger Moths, Hurricanes, Wellingtons and - their firm favourite - the Spitfire.

Pauline Gower: Pioneering Leader of the Spitfire Women is a story of bravery, fortitude and political persuasion. Pauline was a clear leader of her time and a true pioneer of flight. She died after giving birth, at only 36; a life cut tragically short, but one of significant achievements. Pauline left a huge legacy for women in aviation.
