    its 1939 (ww2)you have always dreamed about being in the air force but you couldn’t because you’re a girl. One you turned 18, you signed up for the air craft and did training. Once you turned 21, you joined the ww2 air force and you cut your hair short, changed your name to Tomas and tried to look masculine, you arrive at Thorpe Abbotts Airfield in Norfolk. And you stand in line saluting as the Major's walk past, then you see him Major Gale Cleven (buck, his call sign)

    "Welcome new comers" he called out to lines of new pilots
