EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken at the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) Hatfield base in 1940, a group of intrepid women pilots stand proudly next to an Airspeed Oxford ferry aircraft. The pilots, Lettice Curtis, Jennie Broad, Audrey Sale-Barker, Gabrielle Patterson, and Commander Pauline Gower, were all members of the ATA, an organization established during World War II to transport aircraft between factories, maintenance facilities, and RAF airfields. The Airspeed Oxford, a twin-engine, single-piston, and multi-seat training aircraft, was a common sight at ATA bases during the war. The pilots are shown in their flying gear, ready for their next mission. Lettice Curtis, the youngest of the group, is seen on the far left, with her hands on her hips and a determined look in her eyes. Jennie Broad, wearing a red scarf, stands next to her, while Audrey Sale-Barker, with her arms crossed, poses confidently in the middle. Gabrielle Patterson, the only one wearing a hat, looks off to the side with a serious expression, and Commander Pauline Gower, the oldest and most experienced of the group, stands on the far right, her hand resting on the wing of the aircraft. The Airspeed Oxford was an essential part of the war effort, and the ATA pilots played a crucial role in ensuring that these aircraft were delivered to the RAF as quickly and efficiently as possible. The photograph captures a moment of pride and determination in the faces of these brave women, who played a vital role in the success of the Allied forces during World War II. The image is a testament to their courage, skill, and dedication, and serves as a reminder of the important contributions made by women in aviation history.
