With more and more women taking to the cockpit we have looked at some of the key moments for women in aviation. From Amelia Earhart to Liu Yang, this infographic shows that when it comes to aircraft, it is definitely not just a mans world.

Here at Flightstore, although we pride ourselves on selling the best Pilot Shirts, Alpha Industries UK and Aviator Sunglasses around, we also love celebrating key moments in aviation history and our latest infographic is definitely an eye opener for those that associate the world of aviation simply with males. Some of the most prolific pilots were in fact, women, and today there are over 4000 female airline pilots worldwide.

With celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Gisele and even Countdown legend Carol Vordeman all achieving their Private Pilots License, it is expected that more women will take to the skies.
