YES YES YES Individuals interested in career opportunities as Air Force officers should contact an Air Force recruiter. They will be required to take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, which tests math, verbal and analytical aptitude. The quickest - and some would say easiest - method to obtain an officer's commission is through OTS. The disadvantage is that the candidate has already paid for his or her own college education. ROTC provides the advantage of offering attractive college scholarships. The Air Force Academy is for candidates who want to immerse themselves in the military lifestyle and the prestige of a service academy.rce recruiter.

Yes, there are! Jerrie Cobb, was the first female pilot to past NASA astranout training tests, but she chose not to become a atranout. Bessie Coleman, was the first women and the first black person to get an aviation license. Valentina Grizodubova was a record holding female pilot. Ruth Nichols held over 35 records for women pilots. Harriet Quimby was the first female to get an aviator license in the US and Juanita Pritchard Bailey 'the flying beautician' flew for the civil air patrol in WW2 and later became a ferry pilot. They are joined by many other female pilots.

The Americans used women as test pilots and bringing planes over to England from the United States. They saw no combat. The Germans has a very few women test pilots but were not allowed to fly combat missions.***The Russians had women pilots who flew in action. The Allies had women who delivered planes and often came from wealthy or middle class homes, who learned to fly pre war. They flew an extraordinary range of aircraft, often without any formal conversion training and simply from the pilots operating notes, supplied with the plane. They experienced a great deal of sexism - one pair of girls, delivering a bomber, went to report to the senior officer, for official handover and he refused to believe they flew it and had the plane searched, for a hiding male pilot. They often flew dangerous routes, without any defences and often had to deal with problems not picked up in the last factory inspection before the planes delivery. A number of the women became famous for flying in weather that would ground the men in the squadrons and although not in battle conditions, a lot of the most adventurous and intelligent girls were lost - killed.

No. It makes me mad. We're not allowed to because women aren't allowed in combat units, which that's what a fighter pilot is in. :(
