Paperback. Condizione: New. The Honourable Mrs Victor Bruce: record-breaking racing motorist; speedboat racer; pioneering aviator and businesswoman - remarkable achievements for a woman of the 1920s and '30s. Mildred Bruce enjoyed a privileged background that allowed her to search for thrills beyond the bounds of most female con…temporaries. She raced against the greats at Brooklands, drove 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle and won the first ladies' prize at the Monte Carlo Rally. Whilst Amy Johnson was receiving global acclaim for her flight to Australia, Mildred learned to fly, and a mere eight weeks later she embarked on a round-the-world flight, becoming the first person to fly solo from the UK to Japan. Captured by brigands and feted by the Siamese, Japanese and Americans, she survived several crashes with body and spirit intact, and became a glittering aviation celebrity on her return. A thoroughly modern woman, she pushed similar boundaries in her unconventional love life and later became Britain's first female airline entrepreneur. This is the story of a charismatic woman who defied the conventions of her time, and loved living life in the fast lane.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The daring exploits of Mildred Bruce: aviator, racing driver, powerboat racer and the first woman to fly solo around the world over land. Mildred Bruce enjoyed a privileged upbringing that allowed her to search for thrills beyond the bounds of most female contemporaries. She stole her briot…her's motorbike at only 15. She raced at Brooklands in the Twenties against some of the greats of that era, and took a car 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. She won the ladies' prize of the Monte Carlo rally and embarked upon powerboat racing. Whilst Amy Johnson was receiving global acclaim for her flight to Australia, Mildred learned to fly, and 8 weeks later embarked on her round the world flight, the first person to fly from the UK to Japan. Captured by brigands, feted by the Siamese, Japanese and Americans, she survived several crashes with body and spirit intact, and joined the list of British aviation celebrities on her return in 1931. AUTHOR: Paul Smiddy has spent his life being obsessed by flying. For the last 25 years, although slightly distracted by a successful career in finance, aviation has been a major part of his life. A Liveryman of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators, he has been an active private pilot all of his life, flying to destinations all over Europe, USA and the Caribbean, among others, and has contributed to many flying magazines.

A woman ahead of her time, Mildred was a divorcee, had affairs, was an unmarried mother and a sucessful businesswoman . New biography coincides with Carol Vorderman's attempt for Channel 5 to emulate Mildred's journey in her own small aircraft 23 b/w illustrations This is the story of a charismatic woman who defied the conventions of her time, and loved living life in the fast lane.

Hardback. Condizione: New. This engrossing history explores the creation, development and actions of the Special Duties squadrons, which carried spies, political figures and documents in and out of Occupied Europe.In 1940, Winston Churchill famously set in motion the Special Operations Executive. However, the creation of secret…agent networks required a clandestine transport infrastructure to support nascent resistance movements in Occupied Europe. With only the moon to guide their way, the daring pilots of 161 Squadron constantly faced danger: their locations could be discovered, German night-fighters and flak had to be contended with and, of course, they dealt with the worst of European weather. Despite these extra risks, these Special Duties pilots were remarkably successful.Packed with first-hand accounts and expert research, this book dives into the history of the men who flew these dangerous missions and the main aircraft they used - unarmed Lysanders. Author Paul Smiddy, an RAF-trained pilot, explores the origins of the Lysander, the dangers it posed to its pilots and how operational techniques were developed. Facing political interference and limited resources from the RAF, these brave and under-recognised pilots provided a critical role in the war - bringing back agents with important information to help Britain and the Allies defeat the Germans.
