Just watched the show as well, couple of things that stuck me were:
- 1 in 10 ladies died during delivery flights due 'cloud' - is that a nice old way of saying CFIT due stress of Weather?
- No radios or defensive armament were fitted to the aircraft they piloted,
- Took until 1941 until they were allowed to fly first line aircraft,
- Hundreds of women pilots from around the world volunteered their time (Lives?) to join the ATA.
You've really got to love flying to volunteer to travel from other parts of the world to accept the conditions that they accepted.
Then again, different times different needs.
