Lettice Curtis, who has died aged 99, was arguably the most remarkable woman pilot of the Second World War, flying a wide range of military combat aircraft with the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) and being the first woman to qualify to fly a four-engine bomber.
After ferrying Spitfires and other types to frontline squadrons, she gained her helicopter pilot licence at the age of 77.
