Back in 1938 the Government set up the ATA, Air Transport Auxiliary which delivered the air craft from the factories to to front line. 173 pilots and flight engineers were killed. They deliver more than 300.000 aircraft and many of the pilots were women. The government are to give them a badge, now knowing this tight lot it will know doubt be like the Veterans badge, and after all this time there can't be many of them left.
