CAF Warbird Tube – Yanks in the Cockpit
Online Event (May 7, 2025) During World War II, a daring group of American women crossed the Atlantic not to fight but to fly. In this episode, we explore the book Spitfires by Becky Aikman—a thrilling account of the women pilots who joined Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary, ferrying Spitfires, Hurricanes, and even bombers across wartime skies. These trailblazers, including legends like Jackie Cochran and Nancy Love, weren’t just defying gravity—they were defying the era’s expectations of what women could do. We’ll unpack their daring missions, transatlantic journeys, and the camaraderie that bound these women together in the face of war. This is the untold story of American women who flew British warbirds and helped win the war, one aircraft at a time.
