Maureen Dunlop

Maureen flew far faster planes than her contemporaries

Earhart and Johnson, including Spitfires, Lancashters, Hurricanes and Mosquitos

and proved the dream of Picture Post's photographer when,

on emerging from the cockpit

of a Fairey Barracuda, the sun on her hair, she made the cover shot that that sold thousands

of copies to an astonished

world in 1944.
