Flight Patterns

Flight Patterns brings to life the gutsy, funny and supremely stubborn women who set their sights on becoming WASPs during WWII. The Women's Air Service Pilots was the brainchild of flying ace, Jacquie Cochran, who believed women pilots would be essential to the war effort. All Jackie asked was that they turn their own lives upside down, abandon their homes and loved ones - and learn to fly the Army way. Lila, Jinx, Dodie, Patty-Yin Lee, Miriam and Lauren, although fictional, bear the stamp of Jackie Cochran's dream for women pilots to not just reach for the sky, but to fly in it too. They are the kind of women who lead with their chins. The kind of women who won't let parents or teachers or boyfriends tell them what they can and cannot do. Women like you!
