At one point in history, it was unheard of for women to go to war. The movie industry reinforced depictions of the stereotypical wife crying into her hanky while her man went off to war, time and time again. The actual reality of those times is anything but that. A great example is Jacqueline “Jackie” Cochran (pictured), who became the first woman to pilot a bomber, a Lockheed Hudson V, across the Atlantic for the British Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA).
