Pauline Gower was the leader of the Spitfire women during the
Second World War. After gaining her pilot's licence at 20, she set
up the first female joyriding business in 1931 with engineer
Dorothy Spicer and took 33,000 passengers up for a whirl, clocking
up more than 2,000 hours overall. Pauline went on to command the
inaugural women's section of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) and
achieved equal pay for her women pilots. She enabled them to fly
'Anything to Anywhere', including Tiger Moths, Hurricanes,
Wellingtons and - their firm favourite - the Spitfire. Pauline
Gower: Pioneering Leader of the Spitfire Women is a story of
bravery, fortitude and political persuasion. Pauline was a clear
leader of her time and a true pioneer of flight. She died after
giving birth, at only 36; a life cut tragically short, but one of
significant achievements. Pauline left a huge legacy for women in
aviation.
