Vale, Amy Johnson
Amy Johnson is dead. That dauntless young eagle whose daring and courage .carried her along the sky lines of.the world. No ordinary. eyes, hers. Puzzled, a little. .seeking,. with. small lines etched about them from constant scanning of limitless horizons. Her &reatest flights were accomplished alone, In the terrifying silence of a world moved only by the beat of bird’s wings. . Great were her deeds. Long live the memory of. her. imperish--able courage. . She has passed--as she, herselt, ; in her secret dreams may have wished to go. High in the air, with the beat of the propeller in her ears-in the clean. blue world she knew .and understood. No earthly tomb awaits her. She sleeps in the mighty waters beneath the night and the distant stars: Above,:in some higher sphere, her restless, seeking spirit still flies on, Vale, Amy Johnson.
