Huh….I suppose I witnessed a pivotal point in aviation history.
I stepped out of my seat in a DC3 to ride shotgun to a very nice lady who was the first woman ‘airline pilot’ in the free world. One of our captains resigned in protest—or so he said—and the press who met the aircraft in the early hours, (Germany and Denmark) all asked the same question. Will you wear skirt or trousers?
