Barry Goldwater was a transport pilot, flying over the “Hump”. He was “too old” to be a fighter or bomber pilot.

Signing up is the most heroic thing that anyone can do. Everything after that is just following through.

Some of the WASP pilots were attacked on the English end of their ferry flight. Some of them managed to shoot down some Jerry pilots.

Thanks Ladies for your service.

That was the service that these women were performing, to free up the men like Goldwater to fly in the worlds war zones, like the "hump" over the Himalayas.
