Amy Johnson was a pioneering aviator who made record-breaking flights to Australia and South Africa in the 1930s.
He learned to fly in 1932, and, in common with many early aviators, survived a number of crashes.
The 2003-04 season saw three much-publicized independent expeditions by aviators.
For aviators like those previously described, arrangements for refuelling are particularly complex and can be fraught with difficulty.
I omitted to say earlier that it is not only a matter of crashes and death to the aviator.
The people primarily concerned are obviously the maritime interests, the aviators and the land interests, chiefly the farmers.
Our military aviators, on the other hand, labour in an atmosphere of discouragement, and the work they can do is of a limited kind.
In other words, the aviator is getting stale.
One of them was expressed in a rather bitter comment only two nights ago by one of the most experienced aviators in this country.
