PO-2 was a mass-produced (20.000 made) all-purpose slow and light plane. Flown by countless pilots, male and female. Helicopter was not yet invented. It is a bit far-fetched to say it was solely due to discrimination that females got to fly them.

Thanks for explaining your perspective does this actually change the fact they were treated differently and therefore are undeniably the product of survivor bias?

I don't really think they or anyone serving in Soviet Army in rank below colonel or so at that time was treated as anything but cannon fodder.

Thank you for you input, Dima. Sexism is now cancelled. Everybody, step down, no more feminism needed!

Pretty sure it doesn't and in fact women are hideously raped in war in ways unimaginable.

no, you missed my point. I basically said that most everything becomes a little dot on the ugly as hell face of war and death.

I can't read your mind. I can just see what you post which is to derail this thread.
