Women in WWII worked everywhere, land, sea and air. On land, women worked in factories, as waitresses, farm workers, bus and taxi drivers, messengers, laundresses, teachers, in nursing, and much more. Women also served in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and with the Women's Royal Naval Service. By late 1943 there were about 182,000 women in the WAAF and 74,000 in the WRNS. Like The Auxiliary Territorial Service, women in the WAAF were not allowed to fight, they did however work in areas targeted by enemy bombers. By 1943, 22% of air force employees on airfields were women.
