As I recall there was a female pilot that the brass moved
ahead too quickly because of feminist pressure. She ended up
dead.
Yup, but she didn’t take out 100 shipmates

I went through Flight School in Pensacola with the first 4 women Naval Aviators. One already had 800 hours civilian time and was OK. They really bent the rules for some of the others. A man would have been washed out several times for doing what these ladies did.
They all four ended up with their names on the wall at the Air & Space Museum at the Smithsonian.
DISCRIMINATION! Where’s my name? I had better grades at flight school! ;-)
