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.

“ One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. … Against stupidity we are defenseless. … [R]easons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed … and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside ….” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer
