The other two regiments only fly bombers, and one of them only has tiny little biplanes that shouldn’t leave a barn, let alone an airfield near the front.

I was selected as a pilot ahead of literally thousands of other girls that wanted to fly. my new unit, the 586 What is in your refrigerator right now? Very funny. I live in a literal hole in...

That makes him a joy to be around. I smile every time I see him, and as soon as he opens his mo...

Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? If you’re talking about physical features, I guess I’d go with my eyes.   My dad always said they were pretty.   They’re amber-brown with a dark ring around the iris.   I have nice eyelashes too.   If you are wondering what distinguishes my personality from that of others, I’d say I’m just a tad sarcastic. What would I love the most about you? ...
