The female pilots of WWII flew jets and sometimes new planes that their male counterparts avoided. They ferried aircraft from the factory to airbases in order to free male pilots for combat. They endured discrimination and received less pay; they had no military standing, and received no Veterans benefits. But they proved that women could fly planes as well as men, and in time, received their due recognition.
