YOUTHFUL FLIERS
GIRLS IN ENGLAND TWO TYPICAL EXAMPLES LONDON, March 1 Girls in their earliest youth are now taking up aviation in Britain. The 12-year-old daughter of the Secretary of State for Air, the Marquess of Londonderry, already can take over the controls of an aeroplane.
Joan Hughes, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, has devoted her Saturday mornings for the last six months to flying lessons. She has made such progress that already she has had several solo flights. She is determined to make aviation her career, and means to obtain all possible qualifications, even that of ground engineer, and then join her brother in' his air-taxi business. Miss Hughes says her parents were worried when she first began to learn to fly, but her father is reconciled to it now and has made several flights with her. Her mother, however, refuses to go near an aerodrome.
