  2. The one WAAF pilot I met was married to another pilot, why flew P-51s in The Pacific Theatre. You know about the arguments couples can have, even if they had them before and know they'll never agree? Well, literally for decades she and her husband would keep disagreeing about whether the P-51 or the P-47 was the better plane. She just loved the Thunderbolt....

  3. Oops - Jesse, for obvious reasons, please change the WAAF to WASP.
