|
During WWII, more than a thousand women signed up to fly with the U.S. military. Wives, mothers, actresses and debutantes who joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPS) test-piloted aircraft, ferried planes and logged 60 million miles in the air. Thirty-eight women died in service. But the opportunity to play a critical role in the war effort was abruptly canceled by politics and resentment, and it would be 30 years before women would again break the sex barrier in the skies.
Release Date: 1999
Director: Laurel Ladevich

Pros:
An inspiration to anyone, male or female.
Cons:
A slightly biased but provocative film.
|
|
Quality footage combined with narrative by the women who pioneered aviation make for a superb film. Every question you might have about early women pilots going into this film will be answered in just 56 minutes.
