Wow, talk about unsung heroes! Like Rosie The Riveter, they were the life's blood of the war effort. RIP!

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!

Crappy article. A map strapped to their calf? How would that work? Or was it their thigh?

RIP.... I have the utmost respect for all the Military Pilots as well as those who fly our planes, or in this case pilots who support the free world.
