Sorry, I'm letting my anthropological studies get in the way here. What I meant to say is: Oleg make it authentic, give us WAAFs.

Seriously. Will we really have to wear those WAAF uniforms?
...And what about the female pilots that were employed transporting aircraft from one place to another, will we have to use those uniforms too? I really am unsure if I can afford the sim if that will be the case.
My budget will stretch to the silk scarf, but not the stockings, and to be honest I'm unsure if I can even get away with heels at my age.
Please development team, remember that some of us are on limited incomes.

By the way, what colour underwear did Badar wear?

That would be the Air Transport Auxiliary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transport_Auxiliary

Diana Barnato Walker:


Arguably some of the best pilots of WWII. No ammunition, no radio, and if you were lucky you got to read the pilots notes for a plane before you flew it. They weren't all female, but a lot of the best ones were.

All SoW:BoB will need is an option to disable RT, and ATA missions will be simple to create. Just for entertainment you could add in a stray Bf 109 or two...

"The mechanics were given the order, ‘Tails’. Having got to the runway, the aircraft would pause for the mechanic to drop off. This time the pilot did not pause. Whether he was unaware that the order to ‘tail’ had been given, nobody knows. He just carried on with Margaret Horton hanging on for grim death, and him unaware that he had a ‘passenger’ on the tail. ‘I thought the aircraft was tail-heavy’, he said later."

Haha, that's brilliant!

This could be a nice intermediate step towards better modeling of mixed and female squadrons on the Soviet side (which I'm sure will happen someday).
