IN NEW ZEALAND
Mrs. Maurice Hewlett, widow of the novelist and essayist, is now living in New Zealand. She is claimed to be Britain’s first air-woman, having qualified as a pilot in 1911. In prewar days she ran her own aircraft factory and flying school in England, and, when both enterprises were commandeered for war purposes, she trained airmen for the front. Her son, Wing-Commander Hewlett, took his first lessons in flying under her tutorship.
