Photo 20 Aug 76 notes tzarinascupotea: fyeahhistorymajorheraldicbeast: It’s only 11 minutes, but they both sat through the entire thing without making so much as a peep. Afterwards, I launched into a mini-lecture with stories that ranged from Queen Elizabeth’s army service to Jeanne d’Arc. How true this statement is to me is almost sickening. (Though I usually point to the lovely ladies of the Soviet Union during WWII, especially the snipers.)  From Wiki: “There was also concern that, in aviation, the female body is not as adept at handling the increased g-forces experienced by combat pilots; in fact, there is now evidence that the male body is less able to handle the g-forces than the female body: women are less likely to black out due to shorter blood vessel routes in the neck.” Science. (Plus women are shorter/more compact, on average, and therefore can fit and maneuver in smaller cockpits…(although technically they won’t be cockpits anymore.))
