A blue plaque has been unveiled to commemorate the life of one of the so-called Spitfire Women of World War Two.
Freydis Sharland flew numerous aircraft, including Spitfires, between factories and airfields as a pilot for the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA).
She was one of about 160 women employed by the ATA and, after the war, was among the first five women to earn RAF pilot wings.
The plaque has been unveiled at her former home in Benson, Oxfordshire
