The Life of Hilda M. Lyon

LAST FEW!!      WAS £7.99      NOW £5.00

This is the first full biography of the life and work of Hilda Margaret Lyon, a talented mathematician and aeronautical designer. She was not ‘merely’ a trailblazing woman in engineering at a time when women were not expected to be engineers, but also a technical pioneer, respected in her field.

She worked to ensure the safety of aeroplanes and submarines in the Second World War. In her own lifetime she was well known for her analytical expertise but now, some 70 years after her untimely death, her story is only just beginning to re-emerge. She was a remarkable Yorkshirewoman and a significant engineer, deserving of more widespread recognition today. Author Dr Nina BAker. Soft back 72 pages
