I'd pay good money to see a film about the "flygirls" -- the Women
Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) in World War II.


I'm always surprised that Hollywood hasn't latched onto the WASPs yet.


That story has EVERYTHING. Sex. Violence. Death. Courage. Women doing
stuff they aren't expected to do. It could be a great movie.

Funny that they have made a stupid flick about chicks playing baseball
in WWII, but they haven't made one about them flying real, front line
fighters and bombers. Maybe it seems too far-fetched?

You're a good writer Jay this could be your first screenplay. An you ought
to have plenty of time to do it since your not wasting any time on getting
an IFR ticket.

My God, Barbara Eden in a harem costume begging to satisfy our every wish
and you could pay attention to rockets?


Whatever happened to Barbara Eden?

One of the reasons the 99s formed was to try and be treated like any other pilot, not some special breed of 'girl' that
was daring and risk taking...
