The story of Nancy Harkness Love who, early in WWII, recruited and led the first group of twenty-eight women to fly military aircraft for the U.S. Army. She checked out on twenty-three different military aircraft and became the first woman to fly several of them, including the B-17 Flying Fortress. Young women serving today as combat pilots owe much to Love for creating the opportunity for women to serve.
