Pioneer Aviation in Colour
Images from the earliest days of aviation using the 'new' and still somewhat experimental, colour photographic processes Aviators : Test Pilots, Racers, Barnstormers and Explorers
Aviatrices : Yep, the Girls were up there too! Pioneers : In development during 2003/4
Entertainers: Aerobats, Barnstormers, Wing Walkers, Parachutists
Warriors : In development 2005-6 Most of our pioneer aviatrices suffered gender bias (and continue to do nearly a century later), especially in the armed forces. My research shows that all that was (and still is wanted), is equality, nothing more, nothing less. Hopefully these pages will further that quest by focussing on the often overlooked positives and not the random, yet at the time far more 'sensational' negatives. WW1

Late 20C and early 21C
