Elsa Spencer - Welsh Pioneer of the Skies
Balloon prelaunch Cardiff 1919
"This photograph dated August 1919 shows the Willows, Elsa Spencer and her husband. On the far left is Joseph Thompson Willows, the father of E.T Willows. To his right is a somewhat apprehensive Elsa Spencer getting ready to ascend from Cardiff's Sophia Gardens.
