Middleton St. George, England: Housewife Diana Barnato Walker, 45, waves as she climbs into her RAF Lightning jet fighter 8/26, the day she became the world's fastest woman aviator. Mrs. Walker, who has a 14-year-old son, flew the plane at 1,250 mph, breaking official record set by France's Jacqueline Auriol. Mrs. Walker is a trainer-pilot in the Women's Junior Air Corps.
