Air Transport Auxiliary website

A few years ago, visiting a retirement home in Hampshire I had a conversation with a woman who told me she flew Spitfires during the war. She seemed pleased I knew that women had served ferrying planes of all types.

Maidenhead (Berkshire) Heritage Centre, Air Transport Auxiliary Museum has a free online resource with more than 130 logbooks, hundreds of photos and other documents about the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA).

Of particular interest is the database of ATA Personnel with over 7,000 entries. Four Canadian Pilot First Officers are included: James Evelyn Brian Duigan, James Francis Howitt, Elizabeth 'Betty' Ann Lussier, and Violet Beatrice Milstead.
