 One of the last living female World War Two pilots, Mary Ellis, has died aged 101 at her home on the Isle of Wight. 
  
 Mrs Ellis was a member of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) and delivered Spitfires and bombers to the front line during the conflict. 
  
 She said she had flown "about 1,000 aeroplanes" during the war, before moving to the Isle of Wight in 1950 to take charge of Sandown Airport. 
  
 ATA secretary John Webster described Mrs Ellis as an "amazing" person. 
  
 While she was commonly known as the last-surviving female pilot from the war, in fact there are three others. 
  
 Mr Webster said that one, Eleanor Wadsworth, lives in Bury St Edmunds, another, Nancy Stratford, lives in the US and the other, Jaye Edwards, lives in Canada. 
  
 Mary Ellis, then Mary Wilkins, joined the ATA in 1941 after hearing an advertisement for women pilots on BBC radio. 
  
 She said at the time they were known as the "Glamour Girls", adding: "There were plenty of escorts around."

 She married Don Ellis, a fellow pilot, in 1961, and continued to live in their marital home beside the runway at Sandown after his death in 2009. 
  
 Speaking at a surprise party in 2017 for her 100th birthday - held at the airport - Mrs Ellis said the Spitfire had always been her favourite aircraft. 
  
 "I love it, it's everybody's favourite," she said. "I think it's a symbol of freedom." 
  
 Tributes have been paid to Mrs Ellis by fellow pilots, including Red Arrow flier Mike Ling. 
  
 He posted on Twitter that she was a "legend of the Air Transport Auxiliary". 
  
 "I hope you are enjoying a well-earned sherry up there with Joy Lofthouse [a fellow ATA pilot] again." 
  
 RAF veteran and military historian Sally McGlone also paid tribute to her. 
  
 She wrote on Twitter: "Older than the RAF by one year. 
  
 "Without the ATA #RAF100 might not have happened." 
  
 Author and former RAF navigator John Nichol described Mrs Ellis as a "truly remarkable lady". 
  
 He added: "Another giant leaves us to join her heroic friends in the blue skies." ||||| LONDON — Mary Ellis, a pioneering aviator and one of Britain’s last surviving World War II female pilots, who overcame public disapproval to fly hundreds of Spitfires and heavy bombers to the front lines, died on Wednesday at her home on the Isle of Wight. She was 101. 
  
 Her death was confirmed by the Royal Air Force. 
  
 Mrs. Ellis was one of the last two living members of the Air Transport Auxiliary, or A.T.A., which has since disbanded. She alone ferried 400 Spitfires and 76 other kinds of aircraft to airfields during the war. 
  
 She joined the A.T.A. in 1941, a year after Britain allowed women to fly military aircraft, but they were still prohibited from involvement in combat missions. 
  
 “Everybody was flabbergasted that a little girl like me could fly these big airplanes all by oneself,” Ms. Ellis said at a party to celebrate her 100th birthday. |||||

“Everybody was flabbergasted that a little girl like me could fly these big airplanes all by oneself,” Mary Ellis said at her 100th birthday party last year in Britain. But fly them she did, delivering British Spitfires and other warplanes to the front lines during World War II, reports the New York Times. Ellis' story—which the 5-foot-2 aviator chronicled in her Spitfire Girl autobiography—is getting attention again this week because of her death at 101 at home on the Isle of Wright. Ellis estimates that she flew 1,000 planes during the war as a volunteer with Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary, reports the BBC. Only three other female ATA pilots are believed to survive now. Remarkably, most of their missions were flown solo and without compass or radio assistance, notes the Washington Post. Ellis' 2016 memoir recounts a flight in which a German fighter plane flew near her. “With one hand I waved at this pilot to move away and get out of my sight,” she wrote. “I can picture his grinning face now. Then he cheekily waved back again and again—and then suddenly he was gone. I wondered if it was my blonde curls that caused him to stare as I never ever wore a helmet during my whole career with the ATA. What was the point of a helmet when we couldn’t speak to anyone? It didn’t do much for the hairstyle either.” Ellis took flying lessons as a teenager but flew for pleasure until hearing a radio ad in 1941 looking for ATA volunteers. She signed up and flew through the entire war.
