Woman Pilot Takes Blood to Western Front
SILK STOCKINGS TAKE AIR FORCE BY SURPRISE Received Friday, 9.25 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 21. On the Western Front hard-boiled members of the Air Force were dumbfounded when they pulled up a plane and saw a dainty shoe and silk stocking thrust over from the cockpit. The owner followed, tucking a curl in her forage cap and smoothing a gold-banded uniform. It was an Englishwoman who has left her son aged ten and joined up with a blood transfusion and transport service. She is the first airwoman to fly to the Western Front and carried a consignment of blood.
