Little bit of "secret" American history.
Little bit of "secret" American history. Did you know, at the cusp of WWII, Jackie Conchran, a woman pilot of the time, was able to organize a women's flight group for the Army Air Corps? They didn't fly fighter missions but instead shuttled aircraft around, trained male pilots and pretty much did all the logistic work leaving male pilots free for war.
However, it was the male pilots who felt threatened and lobbied the Army to remove these women. Not only that, but they requested the women's role be classified essentially wiping them from the history books.
