Miss Margot Gore, 33-year-old wartime commandant of the Women's Ferry Pool of the Air Transport Auxiliary, and the first woman ever to pilot a Flying Fortress, today at headquarters, RAF reserve command, Wight Waltham, Berkshire, became No.1. Of the newly introduced flying branch of the W.A.A.F. flying reserve. The scheme, which follows a recent air Council decision to integrate the W.A.A.F. with the R.A.F., gives men a chance to be "weekend airmen" in the same way as members of the RAF auxiliary squadrons. They will be employed on aircraft ferrying and communications flying in non-operational areas during periods of emergency, serving beside their male counterparts. Recruits should normally be under 30 and have at least 100 flying hours, so go to their credit. They will have the rank of "pilot IV", will have uniform and flying clothing provided, and must do 15 days annual training as well as weekend and evening flying.
