Wow, talk about unsung heroes! Like Rosie The Riveter, they were the life's blood of the war effort. RIP!
R.I.P. Respect.
Just watched "Spitfire" documentary on Netflix a few days ago which mentioned about the "ATA" team during the War. Nothing but respect for them! From this story, I followed the link for another "ATA Girl", Mary Ellis, who was featured in that film, and learned she has passed away around 2018 at a "ripe" age of 101!!! Their longevity must have something to do with flying! RIP!
What a great lady and all the other great women. Thankyou.
Respect to these brave women who encountered dangerous frontline combat - this has not been recognised until very recently. My condolences to her family.
RIP. My respect for heroes like her. Condolences to her family.
