2: David Lomax concludes the story of the women who flew in the Second World War with the Air Transport Auxiliary. Tonight he tells of the all-women ferry pool at Hamble, near Southampton, and of their adventures flying their aircraft with no navigation aids or radio.
How just three years after flying small club aeroplanes they were piloting the biggest bombers and how American girls crossed the Atlantic to join them. At the end of the war they quietly returned to civilian life, their achievements quickly forgotten. Film editor PETER HUNT Producer JOHN COLEMAN
