Anglo-Argentinian ATA pilot Maureen Adele Chase Dunlop de Popp During WW II female pilots of the ATA - Air Transport Auxiliary ferried aircraft from the factories to air bases or maintenance units all over England. War time allowed that physical disabilities were ignored for ATA pilots, so even short-sighted and one-eyed pilots were recruited, humorously referred to as "Ancient and Tattered Airmen" (ATA). ATA pilots flew different types of aircraft and had a basic checklist for each aircraft, be it single or multi-engine! This photo in a series for "Picture Post" shows glamorous & fearless Maureen Dunlop in a Fairey Barracuda aircraft. After WW II, Dunlop became an instructor pilot for the Argentinian Air Force and later worked as a commercial pilot until 1969. (Photo: IWM)
