Jessie Miller : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jessie Miller Jessie Maude "Chubbie" Miller (1902 – 1972, London, England) was a pioneering Australian aviator. ==England to Australia== In 1927 while visiting London from her native Australia, Miller met, helped finance and flew with R.A.F. officer Bill Lancaster in his Avro Avian ''Red Rose'' to try for a long distance flying record (England-Australia).〔''(Love is in the Air )'' – Times Online〕 It was at the time one of the longest flights made in such a small aircraft—although they were overtaken ''en route'' by Bert Hinkler in another Avian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dec 05i.indd )〕 Bad weather forced them down in Sumatra, but they continued on, and after 159 days she finally arrived as the first woman to complete an England-to-Australia flight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jessie Maude 'Chubbie' Miller (1910–1972), Pioneer Aviatrix )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women Aviation Pioneers of Australian and New Zealand Skies 1900 -2000 )〕 Although 24 hours late, a huge crowd greeted them on arrival in Darwin, and on their subsequent tour around Australia.〔(Photo of crowd in Canberra, National Archives of Australia )〕 In 1928 Lancaster and Miller moved to the United States on the promise of a Hollywood movie which was never made. Miller became an aviator in her own right, competing in the famous "Powder Puff Derby" of 1929.〔(History of American Women's Aviation Feats – 1929 Women's Air Race: Aviation History: Wings Over Kansas ) at www.wingsoverkansas.com〕 Three years after Miller's pioneering flight, the first solo England - Australia flight by a woman was made in 1930 by Amy Johnson.
