Amy Johnson
The most popular aviatrix at the time (and would-be ATA girl) was Amy Johnson. She was the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia and broke several flying records during the 1930s, including the fastest flight from Britain to Moscow and Britain to Japan.

She was the poster girl of female aviation in interwar Britain (she tragically died in service of the ATA in 1941).
