We get historical context, personal reminiscence and observation in this lovely blend of ambient sound, music of the time, archival tape, and the voices of a small group of women pilots. An interesting, informative, engaging portrait of these women and of this period in history that is so beautifully produced it’s nearly cinematic in effect.
Could be aired any time, but certainly around WWII or aviation anniversary dates, or as part of programming about women in America, jobs, changes in society, and, of course, war. sl
