Attention and skill capturing height for aviatrix (7)
I believe the answer is:
earhart
'aviatrix' is the definition.
(amelia earhart)
'attention and skill capturing height' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of attention).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'skill' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'height' becomes 'h'.
'ear'+'art'='earart'
'earart' placed around 'h' is 'EARHART'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for earhart that I've seen before include "Amelia ......, American pioneer aviator" , "Amelia . . . . . . ., U.S. pioneer aviator" , "Amelia __ , aviator, d. 1937" , "Amelia ....... was pioneering American aviator" , "high-flier" .)
