The study was of ferry pilots in World War II and looked at the
performance
of men and women delivering aircraft to England.

A girl I dated in college got married shortly afterward, and at the
reception I overheard her grandmother talking a relative from the groom's
side. The one room was wedding schmooze, college kids and friends and the
mothers trying not to freak out, and in the back room it was just the two
elderly people talking about landing Hellcats.

If I'd have known the girl's grandmother was a WAVE, I'd have married her.
The grandmother, I mean. ;
