The gels flying and delivering aircraft
very brave and unrecognised
and judging by this column - still unrecognised
[ think of a word to describe unjustly done down by lesser men ]
They had to fly blind without instruments - I think at night
apparently the instruments ( you know radar and that sort of thing) were fitted at delivery
