"Attagirls" of the Air Transport Auxiliary.
As pilots ferrying aircraft including Hurricanes, Spitfires and bombers. Overall during WW2 there were 166 women pilots, one in eight of all ATA pilots, volunteering from all over the world. Fifteen of these women lost their lives in service. One notable feature of the ATA was that women received the same pay as men of equal rank, starting in 1943. This was the first time that the British government had agreed to equal pay for equal work within an organisation under its control.
