Born in Worcester, Worcestershire, England, she broke over 100 aviation records through her long distance flight endeavours, which included a 34,000 mile (54,400 km) "world and a half" flight in 1971. On this flight, she became the first person to fly over the North Pole in a single engine plane. She also served as governor of the British section of the Ninety-Nines, an international association of licensed women pilots.
