the scarcity of fighter pilots during World War II during World War II. Many young girls chose to change their military uniform to contribute to world peace. Joey lovtehouse was one of them. 70 years later, the former flamethrower pilot was invited to a military base and once again realized the passion for soaring and fighting in the blue sky.
Joy Love house, from Gloucestershire, England, is 92 years old this year. During World War II, she belonged to the British air assisted team, becoming one of the 164 female pilots, and her sister Macdonald was also among them.
