Description

Welcome back, history enthusiasts. I'm Philip Champion, and this is WW2 Stories. Today, we're going to soar into the skies with a group of extraordinary American women who shattered every assumption about what women could do in wartime. These weren't nurses or factory workers—though those roles were vital too. These were pilots, flying the most advanced military aircraft of their day, performing some of the most dangerous missions of World War II, and proving once and for all that skill, courage, and patriotism know no gender.
