"About 30 WAAFs have been temporarily released for training as pilots in the Air Transport Auxiliary. Half of them began their training a month ago. The rest begin next week.

A short time ago the ATA personnel was not sufficient to cope with the demands made on it, so it was decided to recruit from the W.A.A.F.

The girls have to reach a high standard of medical fitness. Here are some of the qualifications:-

Over 5ft 5ins tall, over 20 and under 28 years of age, of matriculation standard of education, fully mobile and single."
