There is an all female group in St. Louis (Spirit of St. Louis Airport, Chesterfield, MO) restoring a C-47 / DC-3 for Wings of Hope, to be used in Latin America, Africa or wherever it might be needed.
I have never heard of an all female restoration crew, but by the reports and the picture, they are doing an outstanding job, and why not? I think it is really cool that these ladies are working on an aviation project like this.
Most of them have experience working in the airplane factories here, or have been trained by other ladies who perform that kind of work.
A one and a half pages report was published today in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper, "WestPost" edition.
Sorry, I dont' have an internet URL for them.
