Timeline

1906

Winifred Crossley (9 January 1906 – 27 March 1984) was an aviator who was the first woman to be checked out on a Hurricane fighter.

She was one of the First Eight, the initial group of women pilots to join the Air Transport Auxiliary.

Winifred Mary Harrisson was born on 9 January 1906 in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, to Winifred Edith and Ernest Henry Harrisson, a general medical practitioner.

She had a twin sister Daphne Louisa, an older brother John and a younger brother George.

She later married Peter Fair (1906–1961) an airline captain who was the head of BOAC's Bahamas Airways based in Nassau.

1926

In the summer of 1926 she married James Francis Crossley.

Winifred "Winnie" Crossley was a pilot before the start of the Second World War.

She had worked by towing banners for aerial advertising for five years.

She had also been a stunt pilot in an air circus.

1935

In 1935, her father delivered and cared for the St Neots Quads, the first British quadruplets to survive.

The babies needed special care and delivery of human milk from a London hospital, and Crossley was involved in "making arrangements to fly the milk from Hendon, landing on the common near St. Neots."

She was one of the first women (the "First Eight") to join the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), alongside Joan Hughes, Margaret Cunnison, Mona Friedlander, Gabrielle Patterson, Marion Wilberforce, Margaret Fairweather and Rosemary Rees, under the command of Pauline Gower.

1940

She served from 1940 to 1945.

She became second in command at Ferry pool No. 5.

By 1940 Crossley was separated from her husband and rented a house called Abdale near the ATA Hatfield base, where she accommodated other ATA pilots and held social gatherings for them.

1984

Winifred Crossley Fair died on 27 March 1984.

A bus company in Hatfield named its eight buses after the First Eight Tiger Moth pilots in the ATA, including Rees.

2008

Fourteen years after her death in 2008, the fifteen surviving women members of the ATA (and 100 surviving male pilots) were given a special award by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
