Nancy Love's WAFS (Womens Auxiliary Ferrrying Squadron) were already flying military aircraft when Jackie Cochran made her proposal. Women in the British ATA were also flying military aircraft. Idea was novel at the time, but had already been done.
@III-GabeN-III Why are you asking me? Go tell your legislator s. Also were talking about WW2, which was still 100% male legislative body. They wrote the laws that required only the drafting of men. If you want to declare foul-play, criticize them.
Because there are people criticising the video? I saw a few trolls, several people correctly criticising the content of the video, other people arguing about war mechanics and then majority of the people praising the video. "A lot of fragile men"? Because not every single comment was a praise? Is that the kind of delusion you want to live in?
@@pasijutaulietuviuesas9174 You did a whole lot of assuming in your comment. In fact you based your entire comment on a question you presumably asked me and then proceeded to answer your self. That indicates to me you don't really want a conversation therefore I'll say good day to you sir.✌
@@AKing69 Had you a shred of logic, you'd realise I did not answer the question. I've answered an unasked question of "what's in the comments?", not my question. Also, an assumption is a statement, not a question. I have made no assumptions. In fact, my "answer" was refuting your statement that there are a lot of fragile men in the comments. And the purpose of the question was to reflect on why you'd even make such a statement in the first place if the evidence contradicts it with a likely scenario.
There's opportunity for a great movie here. Remember A League of their own. Great movie. It could easily be switched to WASPS. I think the women of the forties could out work and had more common sense than most the men of today. Such strong people back then.
Germany never mobilized its women. BTW, flying WW2 military aircraft wasn't easy. The women who did this were exceptional. Just like the men who flew these aircraft. My favorite story about WAAFs is how the Military brass shamed male pilots into flying the B-29 by getting women to fly this huge aircraft.
@ChuckleHoneybear if that were even remotely true then the vast majority of pilots would be female by now 😂. My older sister is an airline pilot though
silverpairaducks These women added 1000 pilots to the war effort - as it would have taken that many to do what they did. And your "chicks" comment sounds to me disrespectful of their contribution. I don't believe the video had anything to do with how tough these ladies were - just that they were doing a thankless task that was not afforded to women again for more than 30 years.
@@julieenslow5915 It's classic, SJW grandstanding: "my cause is better than your cause." Also, veiled sexism: another hallmark of extreme political correctness.

That's a weird thing to say isn't it? "Exceptional" is an exclusive word. It means women are the exception to the set of men and women, the group which is very good at piloting. I don't think think this video supported that claim.
RevucumberTechUSA I think i see it differently. I agree with your definition of the word exceptional, as one of the two most commonly used definitions of the word - but the other definition would be that women then were not the normal military pilot. This group was therefore an exception - these women were the delivery pilots - and with 1000 doing this job, that means there were 1000 male pilots freed up for flying in the war. The ladies were exceptional - but it was not necessarily a positive exception. Who knows - there may have been some who would have been exceptional war pilots, but the possibility was never there. Still, they did an important job and did it well.
@@bingbung We don't really know if they were exceptional women, though I personally take that on faith, based just on what they were willing to do. But we do know they were exceptional pilots, as women pilots in WWII were very much the exception - and also the job they had was an exception to the normal assignment of a pilot in war time.
Can we all just appreciate the graphics in video ?

In the comments section are guys who deride “beta males” but will then be instantly triggered over a video like this.
so true
So many toxic and troll like comments... 🤮
& here we go ... welcome to the 2020's internet comment section ...

"She persuades the Air Force . . . "
Try, "Army Air Forces."
Try "U.S. Army Air Corps" if you want to be nit picky.
Respect the ladies!
As always, thank you for your service ladies and gentlemen!
Women are good at menial tasks while men die! How did men get suffrage? How did women? And when? Stop drinking the koolaid
@@silverpairaducks So you're saying that the women should be criticized for laws that prevented them from joining?

WOMEN ARE AMAZING 💪🏾WE NEED WOMEN. WOMEN NEED MEN.
My grandma was a Rosie the Riveter.
First video ever to default to 4K on youtube. Most vids don't default to 1080p, even though it is available.
There's a lot of fragile men in the comments. 😥
Using the term "men" in that case is pretty generous.

They got veteran status and right to military uniforms first in the 60ties; senator Barry Goldwater pushed on.
Quick question: Was anyone shooting at them?
Only over Texas
Yes a big group flew target planes on badly maintained planes. Male pilots flew there too, but these were military pilots.
I don't know why this was so hard to believe my wife does everything better than me, Just ask her.

The Night Witches were better
Like far, silent but deadly
yep

Desribe "exceptional"
What amuses me the most, is how much the us resided females while the rest of the world used their abilities and the same still applies today
Here for the comments 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
exceptional compared to what?
Men
@ChuckleHoneybear if that were even remotely true then the vast majority of pilots would be female by now 😂.
My older sister is an airline pilot though
At that time many didnt though women could fly advanced planes. Some exception, yes but not as a big group of pilots.
Should a talked about the "night witches" and the women at kursk not these chicks.
Those Soviet women were more tougher than the men.
@@Ray19888 I wouldn't say that.

My husbands grandmother was a wasp.
This is sexist, quite a low bar for exceptionalism. Come on Smithsonian
These women deserve to be recognized for their war contributions.
Woman won the war by up keeping the logistics of the allied war effort.
Like.....all of them? Loolll
Fascinating!
Yes, woman can fly too. Just don't ask them to land on a carrier. lol
I believe they are doing just that now.
Wasps did land on training "carrier". They werent allowed real carriers
