During World War II, Major A. Ruth A. K. W. H. W. R. (commonly known as "Ruth") was a notable female pilot who flew in a male combat regiment. She was part of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program, which allowed women to take on various flying roles. WASP pilots flew military aircraft and tested planes, although they were not officially considered part of combat operations. Their contributions were significant in supporting the war effort and paving the way for future female pilots.
She was one of the first female pilots who gained noteriety.
She was instrumental in the founding of the Ninety-Nines, an association of female aircraft pilots that is still in existence and a rallying lobby group for airwomen. The 99"s were raised in the year l929.
There were numerous instances of Kamikaze pilots returning to base. This allowed them to try again when there were better opportunities.
Pilots are pilots whether they are male or female. There is no need to identify a female pilot by any diminutive term. Gendered suffixes are a thing of the past now that we know for sure that men and women are equals in every way.
Amelia Earhart- with a group of other licensed Female air pilots, founded the organization known as the Ninety-Nines in l929 which as the Female Pilots" lobby is very much alive and a living memorial.
