Set Course For a Trailblazing Exhibition

 

Celebrate the achievements of the intrepid aviators of the past at London's Royal Airforce Museum (RAF Museum).

Set Course for a Trailblazing Exhibition

In this, the Centenary Year of British Powered Flight, the Royal Air Force Museum is honouring the intrepid aviators of the 1920s and 1930s at the free "Trailblazers" exhibition.

Courage, Grit and Determination at the RAF Museum

The exhibition focuses on 4 individuals whose courage, grit and determination captured the world's imagination during the 1920s and 30s:

  • Alex Henshaw, who flew from London to Cape Town in 1939
  • Amy Johnson who, in 1930, became the first woman successfully to complete a long distance solo flight to Australia
  • Francis Chichester, a superb navigator who made a solo east-west crossing of the Tasman Sea in his Gipsy Moth in 1931
  • Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to cross the Atlantic single-handed in 1927

Trailblazers will re-introduce these pioneers, their achievements and aircraft associated with them to a new generation of young explorers in the appropriately named Milestones of Flight Hall at the London Royal Airforce Museum.
