Nice video. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for that post...very interesting.

As the German fighter gets alongside her.... "Oh My" she said! LOL. THAT was funny.

Thanks for sharing!

Such a contrast to the NFL kneelers.

Thank you for that. Showed my daughter. She is 16 and pursuing an aerospace engineering degree (started college early) and is now hungry to learn to fly - starts training in the spring. She has read all about the Women’s auxiliary, WACs and loves these little stories.

That wonderful lady at 101 thinking of flying 400 Spitfires and “playing in the clouds” is an inspiration for today’s generation.

Amazing.

Something to show my daughters. Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of our own WASPS, Women's Air Service Pilots, who ferried plane from the factories to the bases. Wonder if and are still around?

British, perhaps, but not American.

Where I work there is a former WASP.

That was my first thought.

Unfortunately, the Greatest Generation will not be here much longer, sad.
