'Forced landings, savage monsoons and near death experiences didn’t deter pioneering aviatrix Lores Bonney (1897–1994) from creating aviation history in the 1930s. She set a new Australian record for a one-day flight by a woman and was the first woman to circumnavigate mainland Australia by air.
'She was also the first person to fly solo from Australia to Cape Town, South Africa, in 1937. This photo was taken during that trip and shows Lores standing next to her Klemm monoplane, My Little Ship II.' (Front cover)
