  • Episode 111 | The Bad Batch are the 99
    This episode is in response to a move to pull key stories from the Air Force History Class. We believe in telling stories that have representation. These stories are filled with struggles and hardships.  Theresa starts by sharing the WASPs of WWII. The Women's Air Service Pilots bridged the gap created by men serving on the front lines. These 1074 women shuttled planes from factories, were test pilots, towed targets, and more. At least 30 of these women died during their duty during their two years of service.  Angie regales us with the story of the Tuskegee Airmen. These men flew bombers and fighters during WWII. Although they were relegated to older planes, they outperformed many other units.  This episode pairs well with:  Aviatrix – Bessie Coleman Aviatrix – Kathrine Sui Fun Cheung The Harlem Hellfighters of WWI

  • Episode 110 | Petrol Filled Champagne Bottles
    This week's stories are incredible. Angie starts off with the story of Ronald Erwin McNair, the second Black NASA astronaut. Not only was he an astronaut, he was a fifth-degree black belt and accomplished saxophone player. His tenacity helped him rise through the ranks at all of his goals. His life is cut short, tragically, when the Challenge spacecraft explodes.  Theresa lightens the mood by reverting to a love of hers – female spies of WWII. She regales us with the story of Josephine Baker, the nude dancer, turned actress, turned spy. Just when you think you know what is happening Theresa says something else out of right field.  This episode pairs well with:  Astronaut Sally Ride Angie's Favorite Space Mistakes Astronaut Kalpana Chawla WWII Spy Nancy Wake  WWII Creation of the SOE / Collin Gubbins WWII Spy Phyllis Latour Doyle WWII Spy Aline Griffith
