![]() "Cub Driver" I find that hard to believe. Anyone know if the WASPS flew Huricanes and Spits? If so, what were the circumstances? There was a TV program on this very topic commemorating their service in the ATA and the WASPS. These talented women flew nearly everything on inventory from heavy bombers, trainers, to the latest fighters of that time. In the beginning ground crews where often shocked to see a wisp of a woman climb out of a heavy bomber when it was delivered to an active base. They often waited for the expected male pilot to climb out of the aircraft but there was none. According to this TV program a memorial has been set up in England commemorating the personnel of the ATA that lost their lives doing this important work. |
