Did civilian ferry pilots, including women, ever land delivery aircraft on Royal Navy carriers during the Second World War?
Short answerPossibly; the recollection includes carrier deliveries and an image of a woman pilot aboard a carrier, but the example cannot be identified and may be wrong.
NotesCivilian ferry pilots, many of them women, may have landed aircraft aboard Royal Navy carriers. Some new-aircraft deliveries to carriers off the British coast may have been made by civilian pilots. A remembered image also shows a woman in flying gear on a carrier. The date and ship cannot be identified, and the memory may be wrong, so this remains a research lead rather than a confirmed example.
