Available for over a year

She remains the youngest woman to circumnavigate the globe alongside a navigator, but her story remains relatively unknown. As a new blue plaque is unveiled in Cambridge celebrating her achievements in aviation, Natalie Malcolm hears about her remarkable tale. (Photo: Ron Gerelli/Hulton Archive/Getty)
