Mary Heath was the original Queen of the Skies, one of the best-known women in the world during the golden age of aviation. She was the first woman in Britain to gain a commercial pilot's licence, the first to a parachute jump - and the first British women’s javelin champion. She scandalized 1920s’ British society by marrying three times (at the of her fame she wed politician Sir James Heath - her second husband, 45 years her senior). In 1928, aged 31, she became the first pilot to fly an open-cockpit plane, solo, from South Africa to Egypt, 9,000 miles in three months. It was a triumph. Lady Heath was as the nation’s sweetheart and called ‘Lady Icarus’ by the press. However, her life was cut tragically short. Only a year later, she a horrific accident at the National Air Show in Ohio in the USA, when her plane crashed through the roof of a building. Her health was never the again, and she died in May 1939.
