Amy Johnson - Wikipedia
Amy Johnson CBE (born 1 July 1903 – disappeared 5 January 1941) was a pioneering English pilot who was the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia.
Flying solo or with her husband, Jim Mollison, she set many long-distance records during the 1930s. In 1933, Katharine Hepburn's character in the film Christopher Strong was inspired by Johnson. She flew in the Second World War as a part of the Air Transport Auxiliary. Her aircraft crashed into the Thames Estuary: she died after bailing out. Because her body was never recovered, the precise cause of her death—drowning, hypothermia or being pulled into a warship's moving propellers, is unknown and has been a subject of discussion since the possibility of friendly fire was raised in 1999

Nobody really knows. She disappeared during an ATA flight in 1941. Only small pieces of wreckage of the aircraft were found. Lots of conjecture…

Brice, I don’t personally have bad feeling against them, but I need to remark , those magnificent reconnaissance pilot, caused a serious trouble at SH.
their largest bombing campaign, was starting with a super successful recon mission, by a very good F-5B pilot.
