In 1916, she witnessed the German airship Schütte-Lanz SL 11 being shot down by Leefe Robinson, who was later awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1152082/Gladys-Hooper-describes-saw-First-World-War.html〕 Hooper also met Thomas Edison, co-inventor of the lightbulb, when he visited her school.
Hooper went to college with aviator Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia, they became friends, with Hooper saying "She was good fun and a very good friend". Hooper was also a concert pianist, and played with famous bandleaders such as Jack Payne, Debroy Somers and Maurice Winnick.
In 1922, at the age of 19, Gladys married Leslie Hermiston Hooper, who had been a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. The couple had one child, a son named Derek, who later became a pilot.
