Nancy Bird-Walton was the founder of the Australian Women Pilots' Association, which was the starting block for a proud generation of female pilots, who now fly alongside men in Australia's skies. 1935, she was hired to operate an air ambulance service in outback New South Wales. It was named the Far West Children's Health Scheme. Nancy's own Gipsy Moth was used as an air ambulance. She was the first female pilot in commonwealth to carry passengers and one of Australia's aviation pioneers. She was born in Sydney Australia in 1915 and flew at an air pageant for the first time when she was 13. She learned to fly at Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (first man to fly across the Pacific) Pilots School. Her first plane was a Gipsy Moth, which was a gift from her relatives, and she used it to transport passengers. She gave free rides and eventually she started transporting medical service in New South Wales.
