Image description

Amy Johnson after the mishap at Insein. Illustration for Newnes' Pictorial Knowledge (1932). on the way to Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon, Myanmar). She flew some 10 miles too far north, lost her way, and mistaking Insein for Rangoon, landed on the playing field of the Insein Engineering Institute. Sailing past goalposts, Jason did a nosedive into a ditch, breaking the propeller and an undercarriage strut, puncturing a tyre, and ripping up a wing. During the next two days the institute’s students repaired the strut and tyre, while a Forestry Inspector crafted a new wing. Amy replaced the propeller with the smaller spare she had brought along and cleaned the engine. As the repairs on the plane neared completion and the new wing was mounted, a new problem arose — no fabric to cover the wing’s skeleton. Miraculously, Amy’s amazing luck held, because as it turned out, a surplus of aeroplane fabric had been left there after World War I, and the women had made shirts from the material. Amy noted later that with ‘great glee about 20 of these shirts were produced which we tore into strips.
