Tonight, from BBC North: Wonderful Amy
In 1930, a young girl from Hull flew a secondhand Gypsy Moth aeroplane across deserts, jungles, and lonely seas, to Australia.
It was the greatest achievement in aviation by a woman, and the world went crazy with emotion as AMY JOHNSON returned in triumph to England ... and Yorkshire. This is the story of the legend.
