Producer Joe Richman helps WWII pilots, others tell their stories.
All Things Considered - Dec. 18, 2002
Expanded Coverage

Suggested by Ramish, who listens to WYPR in Baltimore:

"Listening to the the story of the old women who were trained to be pilots in the 1940s while the men were being shipped off to war. Hearing the pride in their voices while they described their training, their challenges and their obvious love of flying and then hearing the dissapointment in their voices when they had to return to "regular" jobs when the men returned from the war was one of those rare stories that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, tosses you around but in the end you really don't want it to stop."
