What's your point? Plenty of male pilots were probably shot down by both as well..

Reminds me of the time I attended my late son’s USN winging ceremony. ONE female aviator was winged. I said to my son, “she’s so cute!” My son chewed me out. Said, “Mom! Don’t say that about a naval aviator! She’s NOT a face. She’s an PILOT!” Lesson learned.

Barbara Ann Rainey was a T34C flight instructor at Whiting Field, Milton, FL. She and her student were killed in a crash. JAG report said pilot error. It was in evidence class in law school. I read the report and it was not her fault. SCOTUS lets conclusion go to jury.

The Russkies lost a lot of their men in the 1917 Revolution & both Wars which sadly ended up being advantageous for their women. It’s great that USA & Canadian women have been military pilots since the 70’s.
