The book "Women in Air Force blue" by Beryl Escott published by Patrick Stephens Ltd in 1989 is the story of women in the RAF from 1918. It contains many anecdotes from all the trades in which women served. It'll probably be what you want.
As a flavour the following is an extract........."Another MT Driver, Dorothy Buxton " went out with airmen to pick up bodies ( or parts ) after aircraft crashes " One operations night, when numerous crews landed at Thornaby, because their airfields were fog bound, instead of keeping them waiting for their beds by ferrying them a few at a time, she drove slowly with headlights on to show them the way, and "surrounded by airmen carrying their flying kit, I did the job in five minutes".
