WOMEN SERVING IN AIR FORCE
LONDON, May 16. The Tinies aeronautical correspondent says the degree of woman-power swinging into the war effort is illustrated by the decision to train selected members of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force as flight mechanics and riggers for Royal Air Force squadrons, enabling the release of men employed in the maintenance and repair crews. It is intended to experiment with the employment of women with balloon barrages and the skilled job of parachute packing. It is also proposed to employ women as instrument repairers, electricians and radio operators.
