However, behind the scenes, a group of trailblazing women, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), played a crucial and often overlooked role in the war effort. These fearless women defied societal norms,…

The top 3 of manoeuvre kills
Many aerospace fans and avgeeks, including myself, are also gamers; either concretely simulator geeks, such as DCS, or, in a less realistic manner, War Thunder.
