Mary Ellis: ATA Pilot in WW2

She is 101 yrs old now and wants the world to know how beautiful flight is- especially women. Meet Mary Ellis, one of the first 8 female ATA pilots to fly spitfires from the factory to the front lines.

Watch a BBC short on her here and then walk down to your local FBO/Aviation school to experience small plane flight yourself 😉 we have to agree, there is nothing more delightful.
