Women ATA pilots
When I worked at Shoreham Airport in the late 1950s, an ex well known ATA pilot, Joan Hughes was a regular visitor. I believe she was not much more than 5ft tall. I failed an RAF pilots course, which I believe that was at least partly due to my not easlily being able to apply full rudder in an Oxford because of my height (5ft 6).I believe that Joan Hughes was not the only diminutive ATA pilot. How they flew heavies, I have no idea.
