They Flew Alone (released in the US as Wings and the Woman with 8 minutes cut out)[1] is a 1942 British biopic about aviator Amy Johnson directed and produced by Herbert Wilcox and starring Anna Neagle, Robert Newton and Edward Chapman.

The film chronicles the life of Amy Johnson, the British pilot who gained world attention in the 1930s for her exploits, among them two solo record flights from London to Cape Town in South Africa.

It was intended to be both a film honouring Johnson, who had died in 1941 during a ferry flight of an Airspeed Oxford, and a propaganda call to arms at the height of the war years.

The film begins with Johnson's demonstration of independence by refusing to wear the old-fashioned straw hat that goes with her school uniform, replacing it with a modern shape.

The producers acknowledged: "the assistance and facilities accorded by Miss Amy Johnson's Family, Mr. James Mollison, Miss Pauline Gower M.B.E., The Air Ministry, The Ministry of Aircraft Production, The Air Transport Auxiliary, and Lord Wakefield's Representatives ."
