Ah, OK. so those women in the ATA were just using their connections to have a bit of jolly fun during the war. Did you know they accepted mere men into the ATA aka Ancient and Tattered Airmen...pilots unfit for combat but still able to fly safely.
I'm not the one being bitchy, but I am one of many professional pilots who happen to be female who find this Walt's shenanigans in the name of "inspiring women" actually far more sexist than any silly remarks like "make us some coffee luv while we wait for the pilot to arrive" that I have had to laugh off over the years.
My 25 year flying career career was made possible after winning a scholarship in Amy Johnson's name. To win I had to research her life very thoroughly long before the days of google and wiki. But if those are your only sources then perhaps that would explain the ridiculous comparisons.
