1938/39 Surrey Gliding Club Promotional Pamphlet.
Surrey Gliding Club was formed in November, 1938 and had two gliders, a
winch, and assorted other equipment. They offered subscription
memberships for both supporters and flying members, with individual
lessons charged on a daily or hourly rate.
The Chief Instructor was Joan Meakin [Price], a pioneering female pilot
who “was the first person to be towed to this country from Germany in a
glider”, and was the only female flyer in Sir Alan Cobham's Flying
Circus in the mid 1930s. Although aviation of all types was a
male-dominated field, the Club Secretary was also a woman, Miss Ann
Edmonds.
Pamphlet. 4.75”x7.25”. 6 pages, 2 illustrations and a map of the gliding
grounds. Minor soil, light wear. [48629] $150
