Commemorating the work of the Air Transport Auxiliary. East Kirkby Lancaster Re-enactors D858442

            These women aviators represent the work done by the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA). It was set up in 1939 as a civilian organisation to fly new, repaired and damaged military aircraft between factories, assembly plants, maintenance depots to active service squadrons and airfields. The first eight women pilots were taken on in 1940 initially flying Tiger moths. They later flew all types including heavy bombers and large transports. In World War II the ATA flew 415,000 hours and delivered more than 309,000 aircraft ranging from smaller planes such as the Spitfire and Mustangs to heavy bombers such as the Lancaster and American B17 Flying Fortress.
174 men and women pilots of the ATA were killed during the War.
