Spitfire Women
Anybody else enjoy this on BBC (repeated last night)?
This was about women pilots who delivered new a/c in WWII.
Some highlights
- woman pilot who climbed out of a bomber and was asked where the pilot was. They didn't believe her and searched the plane to find the "real" pilot
- two planes landing on the same runway at the same time in opposite directions
- many were stunningly beautiful
- a dog fight between two woman pilots jostling for position on final.
- the book which they carried with operating instructions for many different types of aircraft. This they carried for easy reference in the air.
